Cartoon Doodling Workshop by Bakarmax (Sumit Kumar)

9th June 2019

4 - 6 pm

We'll first remove your fear of drawing with simple exercises - making circles, cartoons, and panels, while I take you through different drawing types and my own methods. After getting comfortable with drawing exercises we will explore how comics tell stories using a sequence of images as we attempt our own 2-panel comic.

We’ll talk about ‘A day in the life of a Cartoonist’ and also - my tools, comics under work, projects and my inspirations.

After that, I will take you through my process when it comes to ideas and stories. We will create fun stories using mundane examples and you will take a shot at drawing a simple single page doodle comic.

I will introduce you to other amateur cartoonists to inspire you. In the end, I will share resources and methods for you to continue drawing - the same way that I did years ago. And a free poster from my webcomic for everyone!

I’ve been making comics for 10 yrs. They have appeared in The Guardian, BBC & other outlets.

"The Itch You Can't Scratch" and "Amar Bari Tomar Bari Naxalbari” are two of my bestselling graphic novels – Sumit Kumar
