Showcase

Programme Synopsis ComixGuru’s core philosophy is based on these 3 pillars: Go-easy, Go-engage and Go-experience. 1. Go-easy: Keep it fun and super simple to understand 2. Go-engage: Make learning relatable and exciting 3. Go-experience: Explore, discover and create with an outcome in mind Rediscover Cartoon and Comics Making is a course designed to impart to learners the skill of drawing cartoon/manga characters and turning that into a comic story. Our teaching approach focuses on “the one skill set that makes a difference” in creating a comic story with characters that is prominent and distinctive. The learners shall be able to learn the rope of comic-making fairly quickly once they put the skill into practice. This 8-hour long course is aimed at learners who have a story to tell or wish that their idea can be materialised into a graphic story. The lesson can be customised and the duration can be adjusted based on the school requirement. In this course, they shall acquire the one skill set that is essential in drawing a successful comic story with distinctive characters: - Character drawing in Manga style - Body postures and movement - Writing the story plot - Keyframes in the storyboard - Personas and the character design - The language of comics - Designing a page layout - Pencilling a comic page Learning Outcome: Students shall be able to create a distinctive Cartoon/Manga character that goes together with a comic story.
