Join cartoonist M.S. Harkness for an hour of tips and tricks on articulating a wide range of emotional states with drawing comics! Tune in to learn about some helpful strategies for externalizing a bad mood, drawing even when you “can’t draw” and the power of staying present by zoning out with a pen in your hand. Bring something to doodle with, or feel free to just listen in.
