HOW DO YOU INVENT A STORY?
creative cartoon lab
How do you invent a story? Sometimes it is enough to draw a crocodile, without thinking too much about it, to give birth to surprising stories. Big train robberies, with a sheriff. With a white sheet and a marker you can draw a character, make him say something and see what happens. And that’s what we’ll do.
