Stretching – But Not Yoga!

 

9/26/25 Sequential Artists Workshop assignment

Sequential Artists Workshop is a creative comics group that offers online courses and free weekly workshops live on Zoom. The 90-minute workshop sessions are led by various comic book authors, graphic novelists and other sequential artists.

I tried a Free Friday Comics Workshop a few weeks ago to see if I liked the format. Comics artist Amy Noseworthy led the large group in exercises to get us thinking about character relationships. The final exercise was to draw a four-panel comic strip involving two characters who have some kind of conflict, communication or other point of interaction – without using words! The last requirement was certainly challenging, but I chose two animals, which somehow made it easier.

Although challenging, the exercises were fun and stretched my creativity in a way that I don’t do enough. Making this type of comic doesn’t interest me as much as it used to, but I do appreciate that the workshop made me stretch. I’ll probably participate again sometime.
