Cartoon Drawing Class

Join Christine Mix in this fun Cartoon Drawing class; children and adults of all ages will learn how to draw just about anything from a simple stick figure or doodle.

Deriving from the theory that everything drawn or visually created is made up of shapes, lines, and space, artists of all levels will learn how to create their own cartoon character using their imagination. Easy to learn animation tips for expressions, action, and sequence drawing will open the imagination that makes illustrated characters come alive.

Materials needed: Students can use materials easily found around the home or at local stores.

• #2 pencil (common) or # B or # 2B graphite drawing pencil
• Eraser (vinyl or kneaded erasers or a regular pencil eraser is good, too).
• 8.5” x 11” blank copy paper or any size drawing pad or sketchbook
