Description

What makes something “fat”? How do you draw “fat”? What about cute, fat animals, or the fat on your own body? How do you draw things in nature that are big, rolling, spilling, or “fat”? In this workshop with Art Brat Comics’ Mollie Cronin, participants will be introduced to comic basics and will explore ways of drawing fat characters and worlds. No drawing or comics experience necessary!
