All artist materials are provided and a $10 materials fee is due the 1st class of each session. students may experience the added excitement of working up close and personal with a gifted professional who can draw just about anything.

Creating  Characters

Students receive one-on-one instruction in the art of storytelling, layout and graphic design to make their stories exciting, interesting or amusing, and always entertaining.

Creating Scenes

Students learn to use abstract picture elements to suggest complex backgrounds. Less is more. Picture references are used to achieve convincing realism. Character placement, depth-of-field, perspective as well as lighting and shadows create a convincing view of characters in their own world.
