This Week on the Drawing Board | W41.2024

Greetings ToonSchoolers and those who support them enthusiastically.


I trust all is well in every Sketchbook, in every Pencil Case. I also trust that these items were not neglected during the recent ToonSchool Break. [Questioning Pause].


This week’s Content includes:


A: Drawing Project | The Art of Caricature

We hit the 4th Term Floor Running with an exciting Theme that is long overdue: Drawing Caricatures! We explore the Fundamentals of this fascinating Discipline in a Session entirely dedicated to the Subject.


YOU WILL NEED Clear Photographs of a Friend, Family Member, Yourself or a Celebrity of your choice to work from.


The Theory consists of:

• History and Origins.

• The Process of Exaggeration.

• The Drawing Approach.

• A Drawing Project with Multiple Options.

• The Gallery of Artists that serves as Reference and Inspiration. It features Artworks from the Web showing how other Artists approached the same Subject Matter. All Visual References can be viewed on ToonSchool’s Pinterest Profile, @toonschoolsa.


B: Cartoon Theory | Related to Main Project.


C: How To Draw | Related to Main Project.


D: Art Quote of the Day

We are still Pearling for Wisdom in one of Julia Cameron’s Publications, Letters to a Young Artist. Cameron is the Author of The Artist’s Way, a Book I can highly recommend to any Creative Individual on any part of their Creative Journey.


E: Show & Tell

The Quote of the Day concludes the Session. Those who wish can hang around for an Optional Show & Tell where ToonSchoolers get to share the Artwork they’ve Produced in Class or during the week. ToonSchoolers are free to leave after presenting their own Show & Tell.


I look forward to seeing everyone and their Talent again.

May the Creative Force be with you!

V.
