Loonie Moon #1
This Summer I took my daughter to some art workshops to help her gain, refine and explore new skills. I was a kid for a moment and joined the comic book workshop. The teacher had us do a simple exercise to help us understand the concept. He wanted us to draw the events of our day, we were to treat this as a diary but with pictures.
At the end of the exercise I realized how the idea in my head was hard to put into pictures on paper. The drawing skills weren't there but I muddled through and made my comic strip. I looked at my days story and was pleasantly surprised at how the mundane became a little more interesting. The exercise slowed my brain down enough to actually think about the details of the day. It was relaxing!
I started to draw my own comic partly to help my daughter realize she has more skill than she realizes herself. I had her teach me to draw my 'cartoon' self. Wow, the things I didn't know. I saw her eyes light up with the fact, she did know how to explain the process. Confidence building 101: Success!
Not sure how long this fun exercise will last, I hope you enjoy the adventures of Loonie Moon; AKA: ME!
