Say It With An Illustration
Maya Zankoul's own illustration of our workshop
“Our emotions change very quickly. We should be able to draw them out quickly too,” said web developer/comics artist Maya Zankoul at the beginning of the workshop she held at our office on Saturday, 27 March 2010.
She explained how illustration is a way of communication, of representation, and how the right brain is intuitive and random, allowing us to see that a stick is not just a stick.
And then, she invited us to draw something that bothered us. Some of us used pencils and papers; others used Paint and Illustrator, which Maya uses for her autobiographical blog, Maya’s Amalgam.
So we all let it rip. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. What do you think of these illustrations?
