NIB & INK FESTIVAL 2025
May 1st – May 31st, 2025
Welcome to the inaugural Nib and Ink Fest! We have a ton of incredible events planned for the month of May, ranging from panels on how to improve your comics craft to portfolio reviews! All streamed events are digitally broadcast live via Zoom. The Zoom rooms are moderated and free to join for EVERYONE, so hop on in to watch and interact with the panelists and your fellow viewers! If you’re unable to join via Zoom, we also have stream mirrors set up on our YouTube.
Instead of registering for events, each event’s Zoom link will open up to the public a few minutes before start time, so be sure to check each event on its date to attend!
Melo/Drama: A Dramatic Tension Workshop
May 11 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm EDT
Do all of your dramatic scenes sometimes feel a little flat? Do they sometimes feel like they’re over-the-top and a little too MUCH? Well there’s a time for drama and there’s a time for melodrama, and finding that line is often a balancing act between script, dialog, pacing, paneling, camera, balloons and art composition. In this workshop, Rivkah LaFille, will discuss techniques for generating just the right amount of tension for the story you are creating so your readers stay engaged all the way to the last page!
