Overview:
Advanced Toons is for artists who are ready to learn professional illustration and cartooning techniques. We will cover more in-depth anatomy for artists who are working on realistic styles, or for classic cartoonists, we'll look at the individual's repetoire of toon "vocabulary". Also, we'll begin working in color with various media.
- 10-student limit in classroom with professional instructor.
- Students participate in the Art Show in June.
- At the end of the year, there is a final commercial illustration project.
In-depth:
This class is for pre-teens and teens who have a passion for creating characters, stories, and cartoon illustrations. Both classic "funny" toons and human-based cartooning as you see in super-hero comics, anime and manga are supported, since each individual's style is encouraged.You can use the things you'll learn here in a professional career as an animator, a conceptual games and movie artist, a graphic novel artist, or just for fun.
Tuition: $900 for a 35-session curriculum.
or 9 monthly payments of $100 (there is also a once-a-year $25 registration fee)

• There is no room at the academy for students to store supplies
• Always bring all of your supplies to class
• Brushes should be kept in something that will prevent their being bent.
Mr. D talks about supply cases
There are a lot of special bins in art stores, but my favorites are flat compartmentalized bins, which we have available to purchase, or hardware bins that you'll find at Lowe's or Home Depot. These hardware bins are very good storage for the price. I like the ones that are flat, with a lockable lid, and that have customizable cubbies using removable dividers. We have one like this, and there are some at every hardware store last I checked. You can make these work for brushes, paints and all your supplies except for the pads. Whichever you choose, it is a very good idea to have some sort of good case for transporting and arranging all of your supplies. We sell of of our things for at least 15% off msrp all the time.
For pads, when you come and go, you can grab the whole stack, placing all your work within the largest pad, but you can also get a portfolio case with a handle that makes it easier to move them about without damaging the corners or having them slip out and fall. We have some nice plastic ones that are just the right size for the toons pads.
