Storytelling through Illustration
Illustrations have the power to tell a story, whether you are creating a graphic novel or illustrating children's books.
Join illustrator and graphic novelist Mollie Ray for this online masterclass, where she will share practical advice for illustrators and get you drawing!
She'll talk about her own creative process, across both short-form comics and her silent graphic novel 'giant', and offer tops and advice on telling a story through images alone. She'll touch on how to find the right stories for your work, whether that's writing your own or illustrating someone else's. She'll go through using tone, colour and composition to craft compelling images, and creating character, setting and narrative visually, to help you bring your story to life on the page without the use of words. Mollie will also discuss how and when to bring words into the picture.
Finally, she'll share insight her own journey to publication, and how she's built up her portfolio as an illustrator.
This masterclass will be online via Teams. It will also be recorded so if you are unable to attend live, you'll be able to catch-up and access the recording for up to two weeks after the event has taken place.
