WHAT HARRY SAYS

I now have my own comic strip that I work on and post regularly, much to the enjoyment of friends and family. This has changed my life! - Harry Goldhagen, USA.

And here's what I taught harry to draw

YOU CAN DRAW LIKE THIS TOO!

Whether you’re looking to:
 

  • cartoon for fun

  • build up a portfolio of images

  • promote your business

You’re in the right place…or are you?

Like many folks you know that drawing more cartoons will give you a lot of joy, help you to express your creativity, and get your message across, but you never get around to doing so.

How do you feel when you don’t get stuff done?

 

Probably not too great.

Me neither...

 

You know you’ll get the results you want, and yet when you think about sitting down to draw you see a big stop sign in your head and you don’t go past it.

However, when you finally sit down, you check social media, cat videos, and messages from your mum…

…And even if you manage to put the phone down, there’s still the blank canvas of doom to deal with...

Who knew that staring at a blank canvas could feel like free falling into a black hole…

And the longer you fall the less chance you have of ideas appearing…because nothing comes out of a black hole…

So you know you must make a decision, but even that doesn’t help because you either…

Walk away feeling frustrated that you haven’t done it and you don’t know how to start, or you put pen to paper and absolutely hate what you’ve done because you haven’t practiced enough.

And how does that make you feel?

Useless?

Defeated?

 

And to top it off your inner critic starts telling you that you’ll never be a cartoonist.

However, you know that there’s a spark inside you that wants to draw.

That’s why you’re riveted to this page right now. So how can you finally stop berating yourself, change things and unleash your inner cartoonist?

It’s time to do things a bit differently...

You’ve most likely already bought a few books on the subject or watched some videos…


Some of the books you may have looked at or even read. While that’s great for information, it won’t give us the social connection we crave or a communal sense of encourage to get it to draw.

We’re social creatures - we like to do things in groups

By ourselves, it can be tricky to get started, however together we can feed off each other’s enthusiasm and inspiration.

There’s something about the collective energy of a group, all working on the same activity.

Dr. Robert Keith Sawyer is the Morgan Distinguished Professor in Educational Innovations at the University of North Carolina

He is an expert on creativity, innovation and learning. He is the author of Group Genius - the creative power of collaboration.

In a Washington University study published in June 2005 in the Journal of Linguistics & Education, Dr. Sawyer suggests that group study is actually more effective for learning.

Here’s a little of what’s he has to say on group learning.

"…with a group there are more voices and diverse perspectives…there is a better opportunity for surprising and radical ideas to emerge, because different group members are more likely to generate surprising new ideas, faster, than solitary individuals.

 

…each person’s ideas are inspired by, and build on, the other member’s ideas. When that process works well, you see surprising new ideas emerge, ideas that no solo member of the group could have thought of."

AND THAT'S WHY I CREATED
ROB'S CARTOON CLUB

Join Suki, Gerald (left) and myself and a whole bunch of other creatives in our weekly Zoom club.

Wouldn’t it be cool to have a weekly reminder to draw, at a set time, when all you have to do is sit down and draw?

Wouldn’t it be even cooler having someone to draw with? It’s always easier to do something if you’re part of a team all doing the same activity. It’s way easier to stick to something when there’s other folks keeping you accountable.

You’re probably wondering by now who is behind Cartoon Club….time to…

Meet Rob the Cartoonist…

This is me at the Cartoon Museum in London.

I’ve been drawing cartoons my entire life. I draw a lot, so it’s nice to share the time I spend drawing with other people. I love to help other people with their own cartoons, I also learn a lot myself in the process.

I work as a freelance cartoonist and illustrator, and run courses helping people with their cartooning. During all of that I’ve drawn a lot of different cartoons and illustrations, a variety of which you can see above.

Why am I committed to your cartooning journey?

First establish the habit, mastery will come in time

The trick with getting better anything is to consistently practice it. Cartoon Club gives you regular practice time - which means that it will help you to see progress in whatever you’re working on.

And if you’re not working on anything in particular, you get a fun hour of time spent doing something you love with other interested folks.

It’s important to first establish the habit and that’s exactly what Cartoon Club will do for you.
