Cartoon Sketching Demo in the Screened Porch at Bond Park

Spent 3 hours last night at "Bands, Bites, and Boats at Bond Park" in this screened porch area.

There was plenty of room, overhead fans, table space, light, and art supplies for whatever crowd of kids decided to indulge in artistic endeavors as the band played and others opted to row in the evening.

Probably because of the lack of visibility, I had plenty of time to doodle some custom illustrations for coloring pages. For future events, we should probably put a bigger sign outside with sample pictures to entice more guests to come in.

Then in strolled Steve and asked if I could draw cartoon portraits of his party of six on a single sheet. Since I only had letter size card stock on hand, I drew him and his wife on one. their three kids on another, and their aunt on a third sheet. Happy birthday Steve! Glad I could brighten your family's evening.

Then this set of twins came in and had their portraits drawn while they colored some of the dragon coloring sheets I had on the activities table. Since they allowed me to choose, I drew one as a ninja and the other as a Jedi.

When i started to clean up, I offered them the pile of custom drawings I had made throughout the night to keep them busy until they can join us for some of the upcoming classes and camps at the Cary Arts Center. Also introduced the Center and passed brochures for ladies that stopped by to inquire about the nature our program for the evening. Thanks to everybody that stopped by.

Frigid Zones Samples

Tomorrow I have a half day camp with the theme of "Frigid Zones" at the Cary Arts Center, so I made this sample colored sketch on canvas board for show and tell.

Also cut some watercolor paper into pop-up diorama bases since they are such a natural fit for ice formations.

Cut some penguins on card stock, and made a quick demo project without any coloring nor decorations. Will encourage students to color them and their background with some cool colors and perhaps add some snowflake patterns to the background with silver paint markers.

"Across the Ocean" demo sketch on dry-erase board

As requested, here is the snapshot of the examples of aquatic life from tonight's class.

Cartoon Sketching Demo at Art Center

The students of my Monday night Cartoon Sketching class asked me to post this sketching demo. We worked on sketching eyes, faces, pools of water in fantasy situations, and wrapped up the session with tips on creating an underwater scene.

New Sketchbook and couple of cartoon portraits from private class

Newest sketchbook cover for my upcoming art camps with couple of samples colored with Faber Castell Pitt Big Brush artist pens. Just wanted to have an example of the same image colored with "cool" and "warm" colors for comparison, and the Big brush format allowed me to do just that very quickly.

Got a couple of new students in my private classes. Thus naturally each got a customized cartoon of themselves as examples of how to draw people in my style.

Private Art Session for Kids

4 kids (Ages 3 to 8 years old) + 4 waterbrushes + Pan watercolor kit = Fun time exploring water media during the weekend.

Drawing and coloring of Minecraft character.

Coloring a carton portrait with a waterbrush.

The deck bench proved to be a suitable drying rack in the nice weather.

Switching to some marker coloring.

Never too young to enjoy a fine Fixpencil leadholder.
