1. Cartooning • Design Intro: This is cartoonist Brian Caravan here to remind you that cartoon characters aren't real. Comic book characters aren't real either. But don't fret. It doesn't mean they can't have a life of their own. That's right. I can help you learn. Are designed characters, whether it be a cartoon of yourself, one of your pets. Anything you could think of. I can help you to use not just one guy, but use your imagination. It's called the inner Eye. Yeah, that's right. You want to design characters, learn how to tell stories about them. We have to make different expressions. I can help with that. So come on in joining. Get your inner eye, Freddie. You could tell stories about girls, dogs, turtles, rabbits, all having a life of their own, making up characters about nerds falling in love. Anything you want, ready to learn 2.
