Workshop: Character design for comics (Papercuts Comics Festival)

This free workshop will be held in the Centenary Gymnasium at the Christian Brothers College Senior Campus, 214 Wakefield Street, Adelaide, alongside the Papercuts Comics Festival Market Day happening from 11am to 5:30pm at the same venue.

This is the second of four workshops to be held during the course of the market.

This 45-minute workshop will show participants the process Sheydin Dew uses to create characters for her comics! The workshop will cover creating a profile about your character, a brief explanation on shape language in characters, thumbnailing and finally detailing your character. This workshop will be aimed at all age groups wishing to participate, using examples from Sheydin's own comic series No Man's Land, which she has taken to conventions such as Supanova and Adelaide Comic and Toy Fair.

This workshop is strictly limited to 12 participants and bookings are essential. All workshop materials will be provided. Please arrive at the venue at 12:45pm for a start time of 1:00pm.
