Drawing for Comics & Cartoons 1M22

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. This course is designed for beginners or those with some drawing experience.

All levels welcome.  Open to teens (17+) and adults.  Limit 8 students

I wanted to learn more about cartooning from a professional, both for hobby reasons, but also to apply the knowledge to my career (I'm a filmmaker who was interested in applying these skills to storyboarding).  I enjoyed pretty much everything about this class.  Jerel's instruction and suggestions were incredibly helpful, and I improved dramatically over the course of the month and a half.  He was great at communicating ideas and helping me when I was having trouble with a concept.  I also liked getting to talk to classmates about their work.  I only wish the class was longer (as in, there were a few more weeks). I would have absolutely kept going!
