Komiket, Comics Dojo and Komikon Now Offering Workshops

Three komiks creation workshops are now available for fans of all ages who want to create and sell their own komiks. 

Komiket University

Now on its 4th year, KomiketPH is back with their workshop entitled Komiket University. The 4-day weekend workshops started in 2015 and has become the starting point of many Komiket Award winners. Komiket creators such as Paolo Herras and Tepai Pascual will be sharing their own experiences as they were starting out as well as tips and tricks on how to make it in the komiks industry. The facilitators will also be giving one-on-one advice on how to improve your storyline and polish your final work.

Registration is currently ongoing. Workshop fee is Php 3,500 which covers the whole 4 days. It will be held at Fully Booked BGC in Taguig.

Sensei Sessions

Another komiks organization who are offering workshops is Comics Dojo. Comics Dojo was organized by GOOGOOHIT in 2016 when the group realized that there are a lot of workshops on various arts and crafts, but almost none for creating komiks. Comics Dojo began offering various "Sensei Sessions" wherein local creators talk about a specific area of their craft. For 2018, they will be offering 2 Sensei Sessions: Writing for Comics and Drawing Comics.

Although the first session has already finished, registration for the second session is still ongoing. Each session is worth Php 1,000 and will be held at the Union Church of Manila Library in Makati.. For more details on the second session, visit the event page.

Comics Dojo is also organizing the 12 Hour Comic Day Manila challenge wherein comic creator newbies and professionals come together in one venue to complete a full comic within 12 hours. Those who managed to complete the challenge will be able to launch their creations in the next komiks convention. This year's challenge date is set on July 21, 2018 with the comics launching on August 4 during the Komikon Indieket.

Komikon Komiks Kamp

Komikon launches its second komiks creation workshop entitled Komikon Komiks Kamp. It will cover everything that a komiks creator needs to know: from komiks creation to selling komiks. 

Registration will be ongoing until May 26, 2018. It will be held on all 4 Saturdays of June at the Bayanihan Center. Workshop fee is Php 4,000 and each participant will have their free slot at the Komikon Indieket on August 4.
