Don’t fret there’s still time left and there’s ONE slot still open for my class, Drawing for Cartoons and Comics, starting next Wednesday 7/6/2011 and running for eight fabulous weeks. Come and join us, keep your summer drawing going strong, it’s gonna be a ton of fun.
I’m teaching another workshop at the Eliot School in Jamaica Plain, MA, this summer. It’s…
Drawing for Comics and Cartoons!
Hone your drawing skills and advance your personal style. With tools and tricks used by cartoonists and illustrators, create memorable characters: humorous, heroic and anything in between. Set a scene, create drama and deliver a punchline in a single image or sequentially. Get the most out of your pencil sketches, then finish them off with ink and markers. Open to teens and adults.
I’m teaching a class on comic book creation this summer at the Eliot School in Jamaica Plain, MA. The course’s emphasis is on how to tell quality stories through the unique medium of sequential art. We’ll be doing a number of small projects that teach the principles of pictograms, acting with drawings, panel layout and flow, and creating drama with images. I will also be including much of the work produced in class into a comic anthology, and be teaching some of the printing process of comic books, as we go.
The Eliot School is a great little community art school with all kinds of great classes from furniture restoration to figure drawing, in one of the oldest school houses in the area.
Anyway, if you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make your own comics and you live in the Boston area you should sign up! It’ll be fun!!!
