ToonSchool book classes

Dear drawing friends, dear parents, dear educators, dear teachers, my name is Vladimir Novikov, I am 45 years old, married and father of two children. In addition to my main job as an art director in a Stuttgart advertising agency, I offer my huge experience as an illustrator in the form of cartoon drawing courses for enthusiastic cartoon illustrators and those who want to become one.

In my ToonSchool, I want to teach children aged 8 and over how to draw cartoon characters. That sounds demanding and demanding. On the one hand, that's what it is. On the other hand, I have the experience over and over again: children like to learn, children learn quickly and children learn best when they have fun and enjoy what they have learned. And drawing your own cartoons is a lot of fun. Guaranteed

My concept is: It's almost impossible to draw a cartoon wrong. And that's the case because comic drawing is basically freestyle and everyone has their own signature. That is exactly why the inhibition threshold when starting lessons is the lowest here and makes access easier for children. With small corrections and tips, I help the young illustrators to quickly develop their own distinctive style.
