School visits
How do you become an illustrator? Do you train for it, or is it in your blood? Where do sudden, brilliant ideas come from? Will your job be taken over by computers?
For answers to these questions, and more, have a look at FAQ’s. Or, arrange for a school visit? Anywhere in Australia. Or beyond.
My group presentations are about books, editors, the planning process - especially 'ROUGHS' - the various choices to be made… And humour, of course.
As well as tips about drawing – where to begin, what to keep in mind, techniques for bringing MOVEMENT and EXPRESSION to characters – particularly about choosing a VIEWPOINT - and ways to develop confidence in your imagination.
And, of course with lots of drawing. And humour...
Every session is a bit different.
- First, a large ‘rough’ drawing is done. Highlighting that imaginative drawing is a process of experimentation.
- Then, pre-prepared material serves as examples of the choices to be made. This tutorial can incorporate for the students a simple drawing exercise as well. (Minimum requirement per student is A4 paper and pencil).
- Every session will generate at least one large drawing to remain at school. Some of them look pretty good. Some of the kid’s drawings are sensational.
- Another approach is for the kids to have prepared a short story, then I rough it out. Talking through the choices.
- The details about sessions can be discussed beforehand. I’m very happy to talk around session formats and variations. For further details, terms and arrangements for a visit please contact:
