Ivan Brunetti recently visited the Center For Cartoon Studies, and one of the students blogged about some of his drawing exercises, which led me to start poking around the net looking for more Brunetti teaching materials…
Over at teachingcomics.org, Brunetti has posted a complete syllabus from his cartooning course at Columbia College and an in-class exercise, “Cartoon Characters Doodled from Memory.”
Brunetti is working on a full-length how-to booklet, Cartooning, which will be included with an upcoming issue of Comic Art Magazine. He’s been sharing excerpts from it with the Daily Cross Hatch blog in a feature called “Cartooning 101 with Prof. Brunetti.” [part one] [part two] [part three]
I highly recommend Brunetti’s An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories, and I’m looking forward to his new collection, Misery Loves Comedy.
