Visual Storytelling: Colour Blocking and Narrative OR Thinking Like a Stamp!

Colour Blocking, which is derived from the Notan Method, plays a foundational role in how Soolagna plans her comics at the storyboarding stage. In this workshop, she'll teach you all about this method; how to do it, and how it might be useful to your story telling process. All supplies will be provided for the activity, but you are also welcome to bring your own sketchbook/ notebook, a pen, and a couple of highlighter markers.

About the Presenter
