25.01.2022 I've used this flip-book format before & I LOVE it! In the Curiouser & Curiouser! Creative Character Creation Workshop we’ll experiment with a whole range of mediums to come up with some truly unique drawings which can act as a springboard to diving into your own posters, zines, comics, novels, you name it ... things are sure to get stranger & stranger as we draw our way through this day!
