Wickham Park Community Center 2815 Leisure Way, Melbourne FL 32935 Instructor – Verne Foster “Cartooning is all about options and what you choose to do with them. We will be creating your own personal characters. We will be having some fun drawing. I’ll give insights into expressions and how to create the MANY, many possible ways to develop a character. Together, we will be drawing different facial expressions. I will demonstrate body types, animal types and clothing or fur if any. Together we will explore the possible characteristics of your cartoon character. Then we will use watercolor to flesh it out and make the character dimensional. And perhaps put them into a scene.” – Verne Foster Verne has been drawing pretty much her whole life with whimsy, comical and fun being in the forefront of her illustration style. She has illustrated and contributed to numerous published books. From 2005 to 2020 she had an award-winning cartoon strip in a canine breed magazine. Her business, Pawtraits, was an animal portrait company and she would do serious animal portraiture (mostly in pastel) along with her illustration work. Then she filtered into canine caricatures. Many done on ceramic tiles. After she retired and moved to Florida, she continued her watercolor work and joined BWS in 2018.
