Are you interested in drawing comics but don't know much about the process yet? Do you just find comic arts fascinating and want to know more about how it all happens?
In this lecture, artist Steve Rolston will cover the basics of drawing comics and explain the typical stages of script, thumbnails, pencils, inks and lettering, using examples from his graphic novel Emiko Superstar. Steve has been drawing comics professionally since 2000 and teaching a comic book course at VanArts since 2005. (starfishian)… (més)

IW's YA BOOK CLUB Monday, May 11 7 PM May's YA Book Club selection is the graphic novel This One Summer, Printz Honor and Caldecott Winner. ALL are welcome at the book club. We just ask that you purchase the book from Inkwood to participate, and throw in $5 towards drinks and snacks. About the book: Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach. It's their getaway, their refuge. Rosie's friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. But this summer is different. Rose's mom and dad won't stop fighting, and when Rose and Windy seek a distraction from the drama, they find themselves with a whole new set of problems. One of the local teens - just a couple of years older than Rose and Windy - is caught up in something bad... Something life threatening.

It's a summer of secrets, and sorrow, and growing up, and it's a good thing Rose and Windy have each other.

This One Summer is a tremendously exciting new teen graphic novel from two creators with true literary clout. Cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, the team behind Skim, have collaborated on this gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful story about a girl on the cusp of childhood - a story of renewal and revelation.
