About This Class
Sure we all want to make comics like the cool kids, but where do the ideas come from? In this class, cartoonist and comedysmith John McNamee will walk you through his process for brainstorming cartoons and getting the most out of those ideas.
This is the perfect class for any aspiring or veteran cartoonist who would like to add to their brainstroming toolbox, or just a fun new way to play around with drawings. This class is also a great companion piece to my other class Improvising Comics. Take them both for MAXIMUM results.
