Class Experience

In this interactive drawing class, I’ll teach a variety of drawing and design techniques with a focus on creating cartoons and comics. Many of the drawing techniques I will teach can also be applied to most any form of art, not just cartooning and comics, so students are getting a comprehensive introduction to drawing and illustrating. 

I'll teach anatomy, perspective, design principles, light and shadow, environment design, and a lot more. 

I start class off with a brief round of introductions and allow some time for the students to share any art they've been working on. Then I do a live demo of the techniques for the day. I stop intermittently to offer constructive feedback if students desire, or to answer questions. I always keep it positive and instill confidence in student's abilities. The techniques I share will also help students level up their skills no matter what they're drawing. Usually, we draw a character or environment together first, then I give students tips on how to create their own. At the end we show our final drawings from the class, if students want to. They usually do and give individualized feedback.

We learn new techniques and draw new characters every week so students can drop in whenever they want. However, the lessons do become slightly more advanced as we move along, so students who stay awhile will see the most growth.


Below is the weekly schedule, subject to change. (Please note that classes are often adjusted to cater to the needs and interests of enrolled learners, so feel free to message us for any updates or clarifications):

Week 1: Unique takes on basic shapes to create interesting characters and Experimenting with proportions
Week 2: Drawing people and Drawing advanced stick figures to convey motion
Week 3: Creating 3D figures and Interesting silhouettes
Week 4: Perspective and Negative space
Week 5: Designing outfits and Drapes, folds, and wrinkles in outfits
Week 6: Light and shadow and Anatomy

Learning Goals

Students will learn a variety of tips and techniques for drawing in general and also techniques specific to cartoons, character design, and comics.
