Workshop

Join veteran cartooning instructor Tom Motley for a new lesson derived from his three Continuing Education courses: Cartooning Basics, Figure Drawing for Cartoonists, and Thinking in Ink. Motley will demonstrate some key cartooning concepts: curve rhythms, the mighty “swalloop,” and more. We’ll have you draw along and show off your doodles, followed by Q&A. Come play!

Supplies: pencils, pens, an eraser and paper.
