This is a sample of the works in progress by students in the first
Cartoon Sketching week-long course of
ARTScool 2011 at
The von Liebig Art Center. Each student started the creation of their own cartoon character using one of the
Color Blank figurines. Full photo coverage available in my

There were plenty of coloring activities to exercise eye-hand coordination and encourage the creative use of color.

Students had a choice of partial sketches drawn on ledger size sheets (11" x 17" card stock) that they had to complete with foreground, middle ground, and background elements using graphite pencil. Then they were also provided with
Sakura Pigma Sensei archival markers
and Sharpie markers to ink and color their finished illustrations.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYJ06GIuJBPBCw6nR9KxCIxkJS2AhDHQKp9ZFH8SOwTWGVirndRKPRgdWntYsm4oBN7vKXyw5hiYULRxuDb0pNrN6xrscAd_7YUhH1JqA3j0FrJNjJ1hh4pBUmAqTiTOmgzCQ329LRv9I/s200/Mermaid+Sketch+Page+4+ARTScool+Cartoon+sketching.jpg)
