On Thursday Evening we went back to Body & Soul for the first Adobe Youth Voices workshop…

Ben is leading the sessions every Thursday for the next six weeks!

The aim is to teach participants how to draw, create interesting characters and how to use Adobe photoshop as an aid to make those characters look amazing and finished to a professional standard.

This was the first session so, after filling up on some delicious dinner, we spent this time really getting to know one another, the group are a great bunch of kids, and i think it is safe to say we all had a lot of fun!

Ben started with an ice breaker, getting us all to think of our favourite film and get the rest of the group to guess what it was without saying the name! Some were a lot easier that others!!

Next we played a game to get us thinking about characteristics, which would help the guys to develop their own characters. You had to first think of 10 for yourself, and then 5 for another member of the group! Again this had some very humorous results, and some members of the group had ALOT more to say than others! Ben was a popular target for the second part!

Finally we ended the session by playing the game (we had a lot of fun and games this time round) where you take it in turns to all draw a part of the body!

As you can see we had some interesting results! We’re all looking forward to going back again next Thursday where we will begin more drawing and individual character development!
