Cartooning Lessons

If you find yourself drawn to comic books or animated movies, it might be time to explore cartooning through private lessons.

Cartooning is the age-old practice of drawing or illustrating cartoons. Typically drawn or animated, cartoons generally have an unrealistic or semi-realistic style. The term was first used when referring to humorous illustrations in magazines and illustrations. Later, when film developed, the term began to be used to refer to animated shows or movies, especially with characters such as Disney’s Mickey Mouse and Warner Bros.’ Looney Tunes.
