In this weekly workshop, we will practice many faces (several per class), while learning new ways to draw face shapes and features to create cartoon versions of people.
Class experience
***Pre-requisite: STUDENT MUST have taken my class, “Drawing Yourself in Caricature” OR my summer “Caricature Camp” to be able to take this class. That is where they will learn the basics of drawing a face and breaking it down into shapes to create a cartoon version of the person, using as few marks as possible to capture their likeness.

~ Paper: I use copy/printer paper for practicing. Cheap!
~ Pencil & white eraser
~ Markers: Black/gray. (I use the Crayola or Target 10-pc set that has the large, "broad tip" markers.
~Optional Coloring products:
Make-up (eyeshadows in many matte shades of brown/cream, blush or eyeshadows with pink as part of palette). {Check your Dollar Tree!}
Crayons (Crayola), specifically the "Colors of the World" set...a smaller set of 8 is just fine
Others coloring products such as pastels or colored pencil may be used as well.
