Hi everyone! Iโm so excited to finally open this space for Deaf creatives exploring ASL through animation, comics, and visual storytelling.
What Weโll Explore & Learn Here:
๐ Clear, expressive ways to animate ASL hands, facial expression, and body gestures in the way characters feel connected and authethic
๐ Discover different creative approaches to visual storytelling using ASL
๐ How to design characters that sign naturally and uniquely
๐ Techniques for comics, short animations, and micro-stories
๐ Giving and receiving feedback on ASL visuals with growth in mind
๐ Experimenting with style while keeping clarity and readability
๐ My fave: Collaboration ideas, prompts, and fun mini-challenges!
To start, Iโd love for everyone to introduce themselves:
๐ Your name / creative handle & link your social media/website!
๐ What youโre working on right now?
๐ One thing youโre excited about learning from here
Iโll start here!
Hi, Iโm Destiny Slater (Sakeozo). I love drawing and animating characters, especially if they use ASL, while also exploring clarity in new ways to tell stories, visually-wise. Iโm really excited to see how we can all learn, create, and grow together, like let's think of this as our shared creative journey! ๐
