A Cork artist's online initiative which began as a response to the coronavirus shutdown has become a social media hit. Will Sliney, who has drawn Spider-Man for Marvel and now works on their Star Wars comics, started the #wewilldraw challenge last week.
He has been inundated with pictures of superheroes and cartoon characters ever since. "It was the day that children were sent home from school and someone sent me a drawing that one of their kids had done.
It was the first thing they had done when they got in, just to start passing the time. It brought a smile to my face. So I figured I could give kids a bit of direction for something to draw," Will explained.
