   NEW FALL CLASSES AT THE TORONTO CARTOONISTS WORKSHOP
   
   Drawing the Human Figure from Memory
   INSTRUCTOR: TY TEMPLETON
   Learn the essential skills that will allow you to construct and render the drawn human figure from memory and create your own dynamic poses from imagination. Your learning process will be divided into three parts: the development of the working model mannequin, fleshing out the mannequin with appropriate musculature and features and finally, articulating the skin over the muscles in addition to placing clothing and drapery on the figure.
   Students of the comic book page, animation, storyboarding or illustration will be well served by the techniques learned in this course.
   Duration: November 1 – December 13
   Time: Tuesday evenings 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm

   Studio Life Drawing
   INSTRUCTOR: GEORDIE MILLAR
   Whether you are sculpting, illustrating, animating, painting, designing for comic pages or just getting your feet wet to discover WHAT you would like to do with drawing, comprehension of methods and confidence in using them – while working in the studio from a life model – are the first tools you need to start with.
   In our relaxed and supportive studio atmosphere, students can work at their own pace and will have their particular needs addressed via direct tutoring as well as having the Instructor guide them through a range of exercises and approaches to drawing gesture, form, anatomy, character, measuring and handling a range of media.
   Our goal and guarantee is that by the end of this workshop, confidence in your drawing skills will have increased substantially and you will have had the chance to meet up with a great network of like-minded artists.
