The Older Set...

I also ran an Illustration Workshop for an older group of 8-13 year olds. We had a long session so we worked on character design sheets, cast design illustrations, thumbnails, storyboarding, dummy books, cover design and typography. They were a really great group and really came up with some fantastic work!

Little Illustrators Make Their Mark!

Wonderful jam-packed day on Saturday at The Riverbank with The Little Illustrators. There were some really tiny little illustrators attending but they did amazing drawings. Look at the Lion it was made by Sarah, who was only three! This group got to draw Hugglewugs, Ravenous Beasts and even make Book-books with Marge the Chicken from On The Road, and they really were totally amazing!

Illustration Workshops @ Riverbank Arts Centre

I'll be at the Riverbank Arts Centre, in Newbridge Co. Kildare this Saturday 25th doing two workshops. Read and Draw the Hugglewug Way suitable for age 3-7 years. I promise stories, doodling and lots of ROARING!

I will also be running a Illustration Workshop suitable for age 8-12 years. You will get a chance to see inside my notebooks and dummy books and find out where I get my ideas from and lots of secrets of the trade! It will very much a hands-on illustration workshop, where we will be drawing lots and you'll get tips on how to design funny characters and funky worlds! Hope to see you there.
