After a short introduction and handout of art equipment (if required), for the next hour Chris will show the class many easy to follow techniques for cartooning, such as how to draw expressions, how to draw eyes, noses and lots of mouths, how to add all of those little extras to exagerate a character; laughing and crying, being angry, being kind, or bored, or happy, or anxious, confused, worried, excited.

Tracing is one of the many suggestions we recommend. If the child doesn’t had a light box or tracing paper, a good alternative is to tape both sheets to an uponenable window. Tracing is great for getting a feel of how others have drawn and also for refining their own work.

The classroom workshops can cover techniques on creating form for objects using shading and movement lines to emphasise speed, amongst other techniques.

Shading techniques help to illustrate the shape and form of a ball, movement lines to show that ball travelling at speed and then a mix of the two techniques to illustrate the ball bouncing as it hits the ground. Other useful tips show how to create the illusion of hovering such as a spacecraft by simple use of shadow and ‘space’… as the spaceship hovers higher the shadow is smaller and as it comes in to land that shadow increases in size.

We also cover the use of depth and spatial awareness. Some may see a flat piece of paper and it’s limited area to draw within, but we explore looking past those constraints and the creation of scenes that stretch for miles into the distance with 3D effects.

Another area we cover is the use of 2D and 3D fonts plus speech bubbles, POW! and ZAP! flashes, to add even more excitement and interest to the drawings.

Time permitting, a fun drawing game of ‘pass the paper’ gets the children to be ‘quick on the draw’, where each child draws a different part of a character and passses it on to the next child until the character is complete.

Throughout the cartoon workshop, Chris reviews the work of the children and offers  suggestions, encouragement and praise for their achievements in class.

The aim of our cartoon workshops is not to create a few copied cartoons by the end of the class, but to give the children lots of techniques to take away and develop into their own drawings for years to come.

This cartoon was part of a promotion to encourage people not to graffiti around the city but to channel their creative talents through workshops, which proved to be a great success where ideas and appreciation of work could be shared and enjoyed.
