Cracking Comics: Fundamentals of Cartooning

This workshop will be a two-day course exploring all the necessary basics of cartooning. The class will focus on creating solid characters, conveying emotion and movement both exaggerated and subtle, utilizing a sense of time and pacing in a story, and the art of lettering and speech bubbles. Students will then shift to combining all those skills to create a comic book of their own. The class will explore layout, cover design, and book making, and each student will go home with their own zine. Expect this workshop to be jam-packed with chuckles and good advice, whether you’re an aspiring cartoonist or just looking for a good time.
