APRIL 2015 EASTER HOLIDAY PROGRAM – HOBART!
A fine selection of creative cartooning workshops on offer these Easter holidays, using drawing games & “experiments” to get the kids thinking in new ways about drawing technique, and to push them into new areas of their own creativity. The focus is on fun skills, new perspectives, and creative inspiration. There are two full-day Draw Til You Drop workshops at the new MOONAH ARTS CENTRE, and at the COOPER SCREEN ACADEMY you’ll find the Return of three of my most popular 4-hr Cartoon Intensives of old: GROSS’N’GHOULLY, HUMAN ZOO & CRITTERS’N’BEASTIES! Students at the Intensives can also contribute drawings to Issue #5 of the THUNK mini-comic.See below for details. Questions? Call me!
ALL WORKSHOPS BELOW are for ages 9 – 14 only

How do you get that snot to drip just right? Or the flesh to peel convincingly off that zombie? Advanced techniques for drawing really disgusting stuff!
THU APR 16 – HUMAN ZOO
Fortunately for cartoonists, humans are pretty weird-lookin’ and always fun to draw. This intensive zooms in on facial details, expressions & emotions, hair styles, hands and more. Advanced techniques for developing interesting & expressive humanoids.
FRI APR 17 – CRITTERS’N’BEASTIES
Learn some simple but sophisticated techniques for creating your own creatures, real or imagined. Skin textures (fur, armour, feathers etc), shading, animal anatomy (legs, tails, wings etc) – whether your style is cute, cartoony or realistic / fantasy, these techniques will really help to bring your creature drawings to life!
These 4-hr drawing intensives are for keen drawers, using innovative drawing games from the thINK Process to experiment with creative cartooning techniques. Each workshop is different as the content is guided by the ideas & spontaneous creativity of the students. Students at these workshops can also contribute drawings to Issue #5 of THUNK, a mini-comic showcasing original cartoon art by Australian kids.
