During this hands-on workshop, cartoonist Gene Myers will teach you how to develop and draw cartoon characters while delving into basic storytelling techniques. Participants will sketch their own character and be able to develop their own concepts around it. You will also tackle several different ways to create a 'gag' in the cartoon and explore how you can tell a story through powerful images. This experience will jumpstart your creativity and inspire you to discover new ideas in unexpected places. At the end of the class, Gene Myers will raffle away the cartoon drawings he create during the class and the lucky winners will be able to take home cartoons with them!

This workshop is a great introduction to the arts and illustration. It is open to anyone who would like to sign up and try - no previous experience is necessary. It provides a flexible environment designed to help you create you own vision for your cartoon character.
