Cartooning

In this fun, information-packed class, you'll learn how to create your own cartoon characters, using an easy step-by-step method, even if you've never drawn before.  You'll learn how to draw humorous, simplified cartoon faces, and rotate them to different angles. We'll start out drawing the characters in a rough form, working in pencil, then learn how to finish them in ink. Then we'll learn how to color them, by hand or on a computer. You'll learn how to draw cartoon figures and show them in action... how to make model sheets... how to draw comic strips and comic books ...how to draw cartoon animals and anthropomorphics... how to copyright your cartoons and get them published... how animation cels are made... and more. All materials are provided; you don't need to buy any or bring any to class.  More Seattle art classes

I appreciated how you covered all of the basics, and took the time to answer student questions. - Michelle G., Seattle

The class was excellent. I learned exactly what I was hoping to. I'll be taking more of the instructor's art classes in the future. - Chris K., Redmond

Before the class I was drawing one figure over and over again, and didn't know how to move her around. I feel great now, I can draw all kinds of characters and expressions. - Melanie T., Seattle

Nils is thoughtful, paces the class well, and treats everyone with respect. There were twelve adults and three youngsters in the class. He took all of the students seriously, listened to all of their questions with the same respect - K.L., Bellevue

Nils is an amazing artist, and I would say, an excellent teacher. I learned exactly what I was hoping for, and have been drawing steadily since the class. I'll be back for more. - J.W., Bellevue
