Learn how to free hand draw 16 cartoons with a graphite pencil and colour using colouring pencils.
As long as I can remember I have always loved cartoons.
I really could not put my comics down following the adventures of the characters in the “Beano”, “The Dandy”, “The Eagle” and the countless American comics I used to buy then swap with my friends. So it was inevitable that as I was quite good at drawing I would copy many of the subjects and even invent my own.
I am convinced that my early drawing skills were learnt drawing these wonderful fun characters, it has led me on to where I am today and they will work for you too.
Although there are set plans to follow drawing the cartoons shown in these lessons, there are freehand skills to learn. By learning these basic techniques it will greatly improve your overall freehand experience when drawing the more exacting subjects like the animals, landscapes and portraits.
With each cartoon you'll get a reference sheet where you can copy the dimensions and replicate what you see with the help of the videos.
There's 16 Cartoons that you'll be taught how to draw:
George the Dog
Mitsie the Cat
Harry the Hare
Marty Mouse
Max the Cat
Silly Bullie
Patch the Dog
Patch, Max & Marty
Chipper the Bird
Benny the Bear
Atlanta the Mermaid
Guard Dog
Douglas the Turtle (colouring lesson included)
Fifi Vinegar Jones (colouring lesson included)
Nell the Elephant (colouring lesson included)
Mick the Monkey (colouring lesson included)
4 of the Cartoons also have colouring lessons to introduce you to using coloured pencils and Colin's techniques.

Explaining to showing in detail. Learning very much
Colin has a relaxed way of teaching.
I really like this course. The characters are all so cute and fun to draw. The drawing instruction is thorough and the tips on coloring are helpful
so far so good - just getting started
Great and thorough
This is the perfect course for fine artists illustrators who are used to and prefer working with pencils and pastels and want to try out cartooning. The result is a very different style than most cartoonists teach. Using these techniques, a fine artist illustrator can branch into this style of cartooning without hesitation and with confidence. Thank you!
