[Bruno_s4]

See you all Saturday... bringing the whole family to this one.

Although my 6 year old daughter is a vet (3 cons) this will be my twin boy's first con.

Just listen for the 3 year olds crying their faces off from being told to stop touching everything and you will see them.

Workshops are being held in conjunction with the Toronto Cartoonists’ Workshop and are previews of upcoming classes:

 

Drawing the Human Figure from Memory with Ty Templeton

SATURDAY @ 3PM

Learn the essential skills that will allow you to construct drawings of the human figure from memory and create your own dynamic poses from imagination. We emphasize a fundamental understanding of the skeletal forms and the muscle systems that make up the human body, allowing an artist to create figures in any pose with surprising ease. Students of the comic book page, animation, story boarding or illustration will be well served by the techniques learned in this workshop.

 

Comic Book Penciling and Inking with Leonard Kirk

SUNDAY@ 3PM

In this workshop preview, DC/Marvel artist and veteran penciler and inker Leonard Kirk will review the rudiments of both disciplines and why choosing the right approach will not only help you achieve better results, but save you precious time and help you better manage your deadlines. A discussion on the overall process – how to build an effective comic book page from initial thumbnail to tight pencils and then give it body and power in ink – will also be included.

[Kevin Boyd]

Scott Hepburn (artist for Skullkickers #7 and Star Wars: The Clone Wars) is a late addition to the guest list. He'll be hanging out with Michael Cho in the Guest area.

 

Only four days away!
