An experience into the world of Bakarmax - India’s hottest comics and animation studio.

WORKSHOP - Get to know the basics of cartooning and animation

• We'll first remove your fear of drawing with simple exercises - making circles, cartoons, and panels, while we take you through different drawing types and our own methods.

• After getting comfortable with drawing exercises we will explore how comics tell stories using a sequence of images and animation takes this sequence into another pace. We will attempt our own comic and animated flip book! (as seen in Taare Zameen Pe)

• During the break, We will give you an inside tour of a typical cartoonist and animator’s studio - our tools, comics and animation under work, projects, inspirations. You can also buy our graphic novels.

• Next, after the break, we will take you through our process when it comes to ideas and stories. We will create fun stories using mundane examples.

• We will introduce you to other amateur cartoonists to inspire you. In the end, we will share resources and methods for you to continue drawing - the same way that we did years ago. 

• At the very end, we will screen some of our sketches and episode of a very special show we are making - strictly confidential.

Other things to note:

Cartooning and Animation can be therapeutic. Attempt this once and we are sure you'll be doodling through rest of your life (and meetings).
