About the Programme

This demo-workshop is hosted by Jerry Hinds, President of the Association of Comic Artists (Singapore), where attendees get to try their hand at a bit of simple Cartooning that’s Caricature related; he will demonstrate digitally, and those interested parties can follow his lead. Jerry explains that Caricaturing is a Learn to Earn concept, and the basics start from judgements of fundamental shapes & details. He will have participants follow step-by-step on how to draw popular cartoon characters - these are for basic and fundamental training reasons. Everyone likes a cute drawing, and being able to produce them quickly & accurately is a great way of earning.
