Paul offers up to three different 60-minute presentations in a day, to
audiences of 70 - 100 at a time (ages 3 – 12 & adults) on the subject of
picture books. He will also leave behind three or four signed, coloured
felt-tip sketches done on the day. (Usually schools keep and frame
these, but they fetch around £100 each if auctioned.)
|
Among other
things, Paul's presentations will feature; |
|
 |
An
introductory drawing, TV presenter style- ‘How it is not done’ |
|
|
Readings
from my books |
|
|
Storytelling |
|
|
An
interactive talk on ideas for stories |
|
|
The stories
behind some ideas that became books (as well as some that
didn’t!) |
|
|
A ‘proper’
drawing in front of the group, (showing how a picture is built
up, starting with a mess and gradually developing form) |
Paul also gives a
demonstration of a
variety of facial expressions through quick sketches during the telling
of a story. All this is illustrated with actual examples of idea
doodle-sheets, presentation thumbnails (a kind of cartoon strip minature
of the story used to show to editors), rough drawings, finished
illustrations, proof prints, the book as a large running sheet - prior
to cutting -, bound proofs and finally the finished book, which is then
read to the group, all followed by questions from the group.
