Intro to Diary Comics with Alyssa Hirose (Online)

Vancouver Comic Arts Festival

In this workshop, you'll learn techniques for drawing every day, and how to turn your own experiences into comics, consistently.

<p>Diary comics are exactly what they sound like: it's keeping a journal, but with pictures. The key to drawing every day isn't an endless stream of great ideas or extraordinary artistic talent. It's abandoning perfection and just doing it—making art that is honest and silly and sometimes, bad. In this workshop, you'll learn techniques for drawing every day, and how to turn your own experiences into comics, consistently. You'll discover all the little stories your life is made up of. You'll come away with resources for inspiration and tools for making it happen, and the first of what could be many comics to come.</p><p>ABOUT ALYSSA: Alyssa Hirose is a Vancouver-based artist who has been drawing diary comics under the Instagram handle @hialyssacomics for four years—actually, her official 4th comic-iversary is during the VanCAF 2022 festival!
