According to Francisco Lobón Leal, a cartoonist's notebook is the safe place to dump all the ideas and characters that haunt his imagination. In this online course, the illustrator and Concept Artist will teach you how to work with this tool to find your own style and capture your identity.
Each blank page is an opportunity to recount a daily experience, share a perspective or reflect an emotion through your strokes. Throughout the units, you will learn the fundamental drawing techniques and how to put them into practice in your sketchbook. The secret will be to fill out each page, and not stop practicing!
