Instructor: David O. Miller (davidomiller.com). In this in-person workshop I will instruct, guide and encourage students in the basics of drawing cartoons. Basic drawing skills will be stressed, along with sketching techniques, understanding how to draw in three dimensions, perhaps a bit of cartoon history, and the simply joy of drawing humorous characters! To make my lesson delivery meaningful, exciting and inspiring, and to combat student boredom, I utilize my many years of experience working as a cartoonist, fine artist and illustrator, the power of my enthusiastic personality, and many innovative teaching techniques. My intent is to help students foster diverse, non-gender specific life skills such as problem solving, perseverance, initiative, creativity, and responsibility, as well as build creative thinking skills that will introduce and prepare them for possible careers in the video game, film, graphic design and illustration fields. (About the instructor: David is a former artist for both “Dungeons and Dragons” and U.S. Space Camp, as well as a huge “Geek” when it pertains to Pop Culture. Currently David is an independent contractor that makes his living as a digital illustrator, graphic designer and educator.)
