The workshop is taught by Rachel Ortas who started the childrens magazine Okido she is an amazing illustrator and her class was really enjoyable and interesting.
We were asked to create a character choosing their habitat as a starting point then using red and blue card only cut out a page to put in a concertina book with everyone else's characters. I choose the city and an urban fox cub called Ailsa who uses her tail to take away childrens nightmares and turn them into stars.

Here are some that the rest of the class produced:

This is just a starting point to get us thinking about how to create characters. For Friday we have to either develop these characters more or have ideas for a new one to work on for the project so it should be interesting to see what people come up with.
