Unleash your imagination and bring your own comic book character to life! In this beginner workshop, you’ll explore the core elements of character creation—from designing a unique visual style to building compelling backstories, personalities, powers, and motivations. Whether you’re a budding artist or just love comics, you’ll learn techniques to develop original, memorable characters that leap off the page.
Through fun prompts, brainstorming, and guidance, you’ll sketch and refine your own superhero, antihero, villain, or everyday legend. No experience required—just a passion for stories and creativity.
