This high-quality cartooning and illustration class combines solid
visual art fundamental with exercises designed to jump-start your
creative process and inspire you to discover new ideas in unexpected
places. You will be able to take these skills and apply them to every
facet of comics production from initial sketch to print. The skills
are there, available for anyone who signs up and is willing to try.
The only thing that determines how far you can take them is your own
drive and your level of investment and commitment. The class helps you
to discover or rediscover many basics like anatomy, foreshortening,
shading environment and composition, and from the beginning you will
be trained how to handle your tools and apply ink, first in a series
of short value studies and then quickly moving onto applying inks to
concept work. You will tackle several different short story projects
and stand alone pieces. These lessons are there to offer you a chance
to build your vocabulary as a cartoonist and give you a chance to
encounter all the challenges necessary to tell visual stories on
paper. If a student has a project they wish to substitute for the
class lesson that is also usually OK. This is a flexible environment
designed to help you reach your goals. Supply List: If you prefer, you
