Requirements

Basic drawing skills are required-- even if just simple cartoons. Knowledge of using a computer and photoshop would help. Though, you could apply the drawing/illustrative part of this to traditional art as well.

Description

I am a commercial artist who specializes in realism, and fantasy, but I also enjoy doodling simple cartoon characters. In this series, I will show you how you can borrow some of the elements from realism, and apply them to your cartoon characters (however simple) and get a fun and interesting result! I am using Photoshop, but you can apply the principles to other mediums or programs.
