Class Description: In this exciting, fulfilling class students will learn the techniques for successful cartooning. Lessons will be taught in the traditional way, which means constructing characters solidly in the manner of classic Looney Tunes and Disney cartoons. The foundations of cartooning will be covered, from constructing characters to line of action and getting the proper proportions. Designing appealing characters and drawing clear poses will also be taught in this class. Once students feel comfortable, they can start creating their own characters and even learn the art of caricature. Caricaturing and cartooning share many of the same principles, therefore students will be able to make the leap easily. Join me for a fun, entertaining class... you'll be amazed how far these principles can take you in your goal of making skilled, appealing drawings!
