Classes will begin with basic shapes and structures for building your caricature, how to control the pen for a variety of line width needs and how to capture likenesses of your subjects. We will also color your caricatures, and learn how to add fun body poses and situations. Then we will finish the class with an afternoon in downtown Flagstaff drawing real people in the square!
It is said that Instructor Jon Crowe was born with a marker in his hand, and all through his childhood years he got into trouble for drawing on everything other than art paper. He hardly ever turned in homework or a test without doodles in the margins. On a family vacation to San Diego as a teen, Jon saw the artists at SeaWorld drawing caricatures and was immediately hooked. A few years later, when he moved to San Diego as a college student, he got a job at SeaWorld and learned to draw the caricatures he had seen years earlier. This opened the door to draw at SeaWorld, Legoland and several other theme parks across the USA, as well as hundreds of corporate events and private parties. The opportunity to draw celebrities and people all around the world has allowed Jon to travel and meet amazing people.
