Thanks for stopping by. Just spent the last few hours at the
Jo-Ann store conducting a sketching demo as a preview of my
Manga Cartoon Sketching trend class. The first 2-hour trend class is now scheduled for
Saturday, May 26th from 10:00 am to noon. You will need something to draw with and some paper (Ideally the
Sakura Pigma Sensei drawing set and a sketchbook with 50 lb/74 gsm paper). For other
art materials suggestions you could check the
previous post. If you would like to check out some
Manga or
Anime titles at your local library or bookstore before attending the class, I would recommend the works of
Hayao Miyazaki ("Ponyo", "My Neighbor Totoro", "Howl's Moving Castle", "Spirited Away", "Princess Mononoke", "Nausica Valley of the Wind", and "Castle in the Sky" - you might want to check the movie ratings and reviews in Amazon to find the best fit for your child's age and level of interest) and
Osamu Tezuka (creator of
Astroboy).
Several kids took home a few
mini comics to color at home and a few custom
manga trading cards as souvenirs of this demo along with their speed sketches (which I define as a quick drawing done in 2-3 minutes). A few had to be particularly rushed, for their parties were waiting the next movie showing (the Regal Hollywood 20 movie theater is just around the corner from the store).
Sketched probably dozens of
cartoon portraits during this demo. Lots of ninjas, few dragons, a couple of knights, several mermaids, bunch of butterfly/angel fairies, girl riding a brachiosaurus, and a toddler driving a mini car. The example above was the only instance where 2 sitters fitted in a single 8.5" X 11" sheet of card stock, and that was only because one agreed to play "Sebastian" for the mermaid model. We plan to hold future trend classes during weekdays, Saturdays 10:00 am-12:00 pm, and Sundays 1 pm-4:00pm.
