Marc Boutavant - Character creation Drawing - Book Fair 2024 2nd day

In this creative workshop, participants will imagine and design their own characters, inspired by popular figures such as Ariol and Chien Pourri. They will then have the opportunity to create a unique book cover, similar to Chien Pourri in Riyadh. The workshop will also include an interactive session with the author, Marc Boutavant, allowing participants to engage and learn from his creative process.

A fun moment to unleash creativity and dive into the world of comics!

Marc Boutavant is a French illustrator and author of children's literature and comics.

He has published several children's books with Albin Michel, Actes Sud junior, Nathan, Seuil jeunesse, Bayard Jeunesse and Mila Éditions. In 2002, he created his own animal world with the Mouk series. Le Tour du monde de Mouk, published in 2007 by Albin Michel jeunesse, features a character he describes as “vaguely like a bear”, emphasizing the importance of the general impression rather than the precise identification of the animal.
