SATURDAY, JUNE 5th

 

12 NOON

21ST CENTURY WEBCOMICS

As we move into the second decade of the 21st century, webcomics are growing in number and cover diverse subject matter. What are the benefits of creating webcomics vs printed comics? What are the dominant formats and styles? Do creators generally work alone or with a partner(s)? What determines scheduling? A casual discussion with some of Toronto’s finest webcomics creators, including Tara Tallan (Galaxion), Eric Kim (Streta) and more!

 

1pm.

THE ZEN OF INKING- with Ernie Chan

Watch bronze age comics master Ernie Chan demonstrate an inking technique that he became renowned for in the 70’s and 80’s. Ernie worked collaboratively with legend John Buscema on Conan and went on to pencil Batman, Doctor Strange, Claw the Destroyer and Powerman. Ernie practices a classically based technique with its roots in the pulp artists and book illustrators of the early 20th century. A rare chance to learn from one of the finest.

 

2pm.

DRAWING FOR IMPACT- Creating a Comic Book Cover with Tim Bradstreet

An industry veteran with hundreds of covers to his credit, illustrator Tim Bradstreet will discuss his award winning technique for designing and composing an eye catching comic book cover. Attendees will learn how to successfully incorporate both imagination and photo reference to full effect.

 

3pm.

Greg Rucka- A NOVEL APPROACH

Before Greg Rucka entered the comics scene and became an in demand scribe, he had already carved out a career as a crime fiction novelist. Find out from the man himself how he balances a career in both areas of writing and how one complements the other.

Greg will discuss in detail his approach to writing the comic book -script and give pointers to attendees.

 

4pm

SHOPTALK- A Roundtable of Contemporary Comics Pencillers.

These four hot artists are putting the punch back into superheroics with their explosive pencil stylings. Listen to them explain their working methods and find out what it takes to make your mark in the mainstream. Panelists include Barry Kitson, Francis Manapul, Phillip Tan and Khoi Pham.

A FULL PALLETTE with Richard Isanove

When Marvel needs a colourist to collaborate with big guns like Joe Quesada, Jae Lee and Adam & Andy Kubert they turn to this man.
