In Cartooning Level 3, we create black and white character designs, then utilize them in a single panel cartoon using India ink.

Environmental design and perspective technique will be covered along with basic composition. Emphasis is placed on rendering techniques using pen and ink and ink with digital media options possible as well.

One project and its process work constitute the basis for the course evaluation.

This online course features pre-recorded tutorial videos that you can watch during the week when it is convenient for you, as well as weekly live video discussions (using Google Meet), both full-class and one-on-one sessions with the instructor.
