Eyes! Mouths! Noses! etc. (Patreon)

So I do this How To Draw Comics workshop with teenage Girl Scouts every winter at their annual Chill Out retreat in Gettysburg, where the girls are allowed to pick 4 elective classes to do (mostly indoors) on a cold Saturday in February. It's a retreat my troopmates and I loved when we were kids, so I try to make the workshop one that I would have enjoyed way back in the 90s. :)

The old ones were... well, speaking of the 90s...

They weren't BAD - I even traced some of the mouths for the new one - but they deserved an update! And the addition of some tricks & tips.

Usually I just print out a few of these and make the girls share, but every year most of the girls beg "can we keep these??" So this time I'm printing enough for everyone, and letting them each take them home.

This will be the first year I'm doing a two-part session; the girls will warm up with some facial expressions sheets and create two characters in the first hour-long session. During the second session, they'll apply those characters to a comic strip. 

I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with. No doubt, a lot of manga, and some anxiety-driven romance stories.
