In addition to enrolling in Animation Mentor, I started taking a cartooning course with Mike Kunkel at the Cartoonist Academy. Mike Kunkel is a talented artist who has worked on numerous animated projects for television and feature films. He also has his own children’s book series, Herobear and the Kid. I’m really looking forward to learning from him this fall and improving my cartooning skills. My first assignment was to sketch a cat holding a cake and a balloon using different drawing tools.
