Cartooning Basics

Learn how to draw anything in a simple style. Over the week, Meg will show you how to draw for animation, character design, and game design.
Pencil in hand, you’ll be doing line drawings to get all the fundamentals – shape, volume, texture, proportions, expression and action.
From there, you’ll be drawing objects, characters and backgrounds to copy or from imagination.
Meg will teach you how to draw your objects and characters to give them expression and life – making them look like they are moving or reacting to their environment – and how to bring this into your storytelling. You’ll learn about line art and then how to write your own cartoon strip.
