Enrol via Sydney Community College:

From the single panel editorial cartoons of the newspapers to the walls of city streets, cartoons are everywhere!

If  you struggle with stick-people and haven’t picked up a pencil since  your school days, never fear- this class is not about virtuoso drawing  skills. Throughout the course we will demystify drawing with the aim of  creating simplified & iconic cartoons, like the classics.

It’s  also about understanding how to tell stories with static images – how  to create comedic pacing, dramatic tension and a clear flow for the  reader, amongst other storytelling techniques.

This Cartooning for  Beginners Class will be based around your own ideas – your own stories,  jokes, characters and style. You will start with an idea and develop it over the 6 weeks by applying what you learn in class.
