Drawing Doujinshi Workshop: Robert Dejesus led a productive session of
talented fan artists to grab a chair, table space, and set to work on drawing up some art
panels to make little doujinshis for all the see and share. Tools for the job involved
simple pens and pencils, art boards and rulers, and a whole lot of imagination.

Model Kit Workshop: Fans of both mecha and figurines found an
area to relax and build and paint some cool kits. From garage kit to polystyrene
forms, mechas included Gundam and Escaflowne and figurines came from all walks of anime life
from owners' own collections.

Cel Painting Workshop: Steve Bennett, the man of many talents, led an
instructor's review on the care and art of cels, and then proceeded to show how to properly
paint a cel with brushing techniques and water skills. Afterwards, attendees could
purchase for a small fee some cels, paint, and get some free space to spend some free time
on appreciation for this traditional lost art form that may soon see the end of its day with
newer digital animation technologies. For anyone who likes to collect cels or loves to
delve deeper into the production of anime, this is definitely the workshop to get involved.
