I want to say well done to every single child who took part in my cartoon workshops on Monday 22nd. Fantastic creativity shown by all & I can see I have a lot of competition!

The workshops consisted of 4 one hour sessions where I produced cartoons on the interactive display boards (so they could be saved & referred back too, plus printed out). The children generated the cartoons with me step by step & then we worked from photocopied hand outs of cartoons as a guide to create there own characters.

Thanks to the kids for making me so welcome, also to those who gave me the Thank You card plus Sam (with the poorley eye) for giving me one of his cartoon sheets as well to take away, also the young chap who brought in two portfolios of his work for me to see, very talented.

If you took part, please feel free to leave a comment below on what you thought of the day, perhaps ideas for future workshops, did it inspire you to cartoon? Your feedback is really important & appreciated.

All the best.
Chris
PS Reminder to checkout my 'How to Draw Cartoons' section which you will find in 'Foundation / Specialist Skills / Cartoonist. Also you'll find over 1,000 cartoons on my site at www.altham.com that you can copy from.

PPS If you want to discuss any tips or other points on cartooning you can start a discussion within the Techniques Forum on this site.

In addition to the really nice positive feedback on the day, later in the week I received the following email:
