South Florida Summer Camps and Afterschool Cartoon Drawing Workshops

SOUTH FLORIDA CARTOON DRAWING WORKSHOPS:
           I present this fun and entertaining class for artist of all ages!
Students work through character designs and a finished illustration while learning solid cartoon drawing techniques. The class covers the foundations of cartooning and drawing, from constructing characters, line of action, and getting the proper proportions to designing appealing characters. 

TOPICS COVERED:
Shape based cartoon drawing
Cartoon Character Construction
Drawing the head and facial expressions
Drawing Cartoon Hands
Drawing a balanced character
Line of Action and drawing a clear pose

LARGE GROUP DRAW ALONG:  I lead a group of students in drawing a Cartoon character of their choice. They draw exactly what I’m drawing and end up with a drawing of their own. I bring a large easel and pad, or projection system. 2nd grade and up is best for this activity and session takes 30 minutes to draw a character. 

 MATERIALS:
A digital projector, an easel, a whiteboard or chalkboard. Students should have regular copy paper, and pencils and erasers to follow along with the drawing techniques.

HOW TO SCHEDULE WORKSHOP:

 I can present at Summer Camps, Afterschool Programs or Company team building exercises for artist of all levels.
Please contact me to schedule your next Cartoon Drawing Workshop.

Cartoon Drawing/ Illustration Workshop Hosted by Angel M. Alvarez M.F.A in Davie, Florida

I've been hosting a series of workshops on Cartoon Drawing and Illustration in Davie, Florida. Students that register receive a story prompt in order to work through character design ideas and a finished illustration. Students may substitute their own story for the class prompt. This is a flexible environment designed to help students develop fundamental drawing skills and how to compose images based on visual storytelling. 

The topics I cover are typically: 

• Shape based Character design
• Cartoon Character Construction
• Construction of the head and facial expressions
• Drawing Cartoon Hands
• Drawing a balanced character
• Line of Action and drawing a clear pose and silhouette

• Composing and Creating full spread
• Exploring Thumbnails and conceptualizing image.
• Gathering reference
• Drawing a background with characters
