CANCELLED: Associative drawing with Babagoi (AT/D)
Associative drawing revolves around the relationship of ideas and images. By fast and intuitive drawing, we can discover and (re)invent possible connections. This is what makes associative drawing a great method of communication and self-expression. And we still use this skill in illustration as a basic tool. Whether we are sketching, working on graphic records or telling visual stories – it always starts by approaching the topic confidently and with an open mind. During this workshop, we will draw quickly, bravely, boldly, sharply, confidently and together.

A manual for survival in the creative sector with Štěpánka Jislová
What pitfalls await a beginner in the field of comics and illustrations if he wants to draw professionally? Štěpánka Jislová will talk about what the life of a gainfully illustrative person looks like. From getting up in the morning (getting up), to your back, exhausted by lack of movement, through pricing and survival on the amounts that the publisher will offer you for the comic. In the lecture, you will learn how your favorite comic books came into being, what to look out for as a freelancer in the creative industry, and whether you will fill your stomach from ‘exposure’ and ‘royalties’. Do you really ‘deserve’ CZK 500 per hour of work? Do you need to study law at a distance so that your clients do not rob you?
The lecture will be mainly practical, with an emphasis on how things are, not how they could or should be. Let’s go through specific numbers! You will learn how much it costs to print an average book load, what the working environment of advertising agencies looks like, the possibilities of authorial creation, but also how successful crowdfunding and other alternative sources of financing are today. And you will find out on specific cases!
Bring: own portfolios for consultation (if you have) and inquisitive questions

Introduction to animation with SULC collective
A workshop for everyone who is experienced in the field of static illustration and would like to know ways to set their images in motion.
We will show the animation environment of Adobe Photoshop, in which illustrators can undoubtedly move, and we will introduce some of the twelve Disney principles of animation. These will not serve as a necessary dogma, but as a tool for understanding the animator’s understanding of motion, which is very different from the illustrator’s understanding of motion. We will describe how the movement component of the animation itself can carry the author’s handwriting and style.
About the lecturers: Vojtěch Kočí and Filip Tatýrek alias SULC kolektiv – creators of this year’s visual of the LUSTR festival. This two-headed creative tandem of two members is dedicated to art animation and illustration on the surface of original works and custom works. He is constantly learning in the Studio of Film and Television Graphics at the Prague Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design.
