technique and cartoon building.
Margi will go over the products and brushes she uses to create her colorful masterpieces.
She will build the characters from the inside out creating levels of paint that work together
so that your creations are clean, bold, and functional.
We will teach a segment on different eyes and face shapes to show different emotions.
Margi will break down the cartoons into shapes and help you to figure out proper
placement for each design for the most animation.Margi will teach you different ways to
shape hands and feet from basic to more complicated.
Margi will incorporate demonstration and practice techniques for each individual part of
the cartoon from mouth expressions to hand and foot design.
She will teach outlining techniques and demonstrate easy ways to highlight your
designs.
After we work out the concepts we will begin building a basic penguin and create straight
on as well as side facing designs. Margi will dabble in her silly one eyed designs and
show you how to create images that are simplistic masterpieces of which will open your
mind to create your own designs.
The final part of class will open your mind and allow you to work on creating your own
designs and placement. A group discussion on each individual design will show just
how much you learned. . To share... is to learn.
