2D Animation Is Not Dead: The Power of the Pencil

2D Animation Is Not Dead: The Power of the Pencil is a hands-on workshop exploring how the core principles of traditional animation can elevate comic art. Led by veteran Disney animator and director Robb Pratt, this session demonstrates how strong drawing techniques bring greater dynamism, expression, and life to characters on the comic page.

Key points include understanding weight and movement, applying squash and stretch and gesture, and enhancing character performance for more impactful action poses and sequential storytelling. By the end of this workshop, attendees will be able to apply animation fundamentals to create more dynamic and expressive comics.
