Description
Join us for a fun and creative weekend course designed to help you express your unique story through illustration.
"Illustrate Your Life" is all about capturing the moments, people, and places that make up your world in a personal visual journal. This course will guide you step-by-step to develop your own illustration style while learning key skills to bring your life’s narrative to life on paper.
During this course you will:
Identify Your Main Character, You!: Learn how to draw yourself as the main character in your own story, exploring techniques for capturing your likeness and personality through illustration.
Identify Your Supporting Characters: Learn how to draw the people (family, friends, pets) who play key roles in your life, adding them into your visual narrative.
Identify Your Setting: Discover how to illustrate the places that are meaningful to you—your home, workspace, or favourite spots—while incorporating your characters into the environment.
Identify Your Plot: Combine all the elements you’ve learned to start illustrating the stories from your daily life, creating a dynamic visual journal that tells your unique narrative.
By the end of the course, you'll have a personal, vibrant journal filled with illustrated memories, stories, and a deeper connection to your creative self. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this course will empower you to creatively document your life in a way that’s both meaningful and fun.
