In this workshop participants learn to draw basic cartoon animal anatomy.  Animals from the land and sea are covered in this three-hour session. Also, the basics of drawing details for each kind of animal are taught such as fur and scales. During the workshop participants can share their work with their peers as another way to learn from each other.  No previous experience is necessary in this informal workshop environment. Workshop participants need to bring pencils, pens, and a sketchbook. The instructor will provide more pencils, paper, erasers, and colored pencils.
