I welcome you to join my drop-in cartooning class for an hour of fun and creativity each week as we draw a cool character from popular media with other young artists from around the world! No prior experience or past attendance is required, but some familiarity with drawing and the use of basic art supplies is helpful.

Each week we’ll pick a character from popular media, including video games, tv shows, comics, anime and memes. Together we’ll go step-by-step through the drawing, inking and coloring stages. We’ll aim to finish a piece within each hour-long class, but you’re welcome to continue creating your piece after we finish! 

My goal is to help you navigate the challenges and occasional frustrations of learning to draw while fostering a positive and supportive learning environment. I teach using a construction method of drawing, where I first break things down into simple shapes, then add details, and finish with ink lines and color.

There will be an opportunity at the end of every class to share your work, but it's optional. I always love seeing your art when you want to show it, but I understand that you may not feel like sharing it sometimes, and that’s ok.

As a teacher here’s what I commit to you as a student:

I will always treat you with respect,
I will start and end the classes on time,
I’ll refer to you by the name and pronouns you prefer,
I'll take you through one full drawing, step by step every class,
I always try to go at a speed that students can follow along with, but if I’m going too fast for at least two students then I’ll pause or slow down until they can catch up, and
I wont tolerate rude or critical comments, but positive comments are highly encouraged.
A recording of the class will always be available for you to re-watch if needed.

I will allow students to make comments or questions on-mic, and participate in the text chat as long as the conversation is kind and respectful. Please don’t share any personal identifying information such as: last name, birthdate, town or city where you live, or social media/gaming handles

To reduce the excess background noise such as dogs barking, babies crying, and parents yakking on the phone, I may mute students. You can always un-mute yourself to talk by pressing and holding the space bar, and use the features like ‘raise hand’ and ‘emoji reactions’ to communicate.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and drawing some awesome characters together in the Zoom Room!
