Debasmita Dasgupta

I am internationally published, award-winning children's book illustrator and graphic novelist. I have a Fist Class with Distinction MA Degree in Children's Book Illustrations & Graphic Novels from the Middlesex University in London. I teach and mentor aspiring visual storytellers through my classes.

- All my sessions are interactive and conversational, where students can directly ask me questions plus I provide hands-on exercises on drawing and visual storytelling.
- I start with overviews on the range of visual storytelling possibilities in this world, giving practical examples from my career on where to start and how to sustain your visual storytelling career.
- My course structure includes modules on finding and honing your artistic voice, character sketching, drawing memorable characters for your stories, colour palette generation, tools and techniques, sketching and storyboarding, textures and patterns, designing, and creating full colour illustrations / artwork for illustrated books of various kinds.
- All my sessions are filled with knowledge from the field, professional tips from the industry.
