Below are a few images from the course itself illustrated by tutor and artist John Byrne.
I liked the course materials very much; that they came in a folder in print form allowed me to read and engage in a range of places. The online videos are good too and (personally) I'd like to see more video of John talking about and drawing cartoons - this would help give insight into cartooning as well as his philosophies and stories of his cartooning experiences which are important and engaging.
I think the course I did was great and really helped me improve. Also my tutor’s feedback was very helpful and will help me for when I draw in the future. Overall I think the course was educational and I really enjoyed doing it.
Overall a very informative and creative course that offered a great range of helpful knowledge and skills that have greatly developed my passion for cartooning.
This has been the most positive learning experience I've ever had. In just over a year, I have gone from barely being able to draw to executing four-panel strip cartoons and single panel cartoons in more detail than I imagined possible. John's guidance was positive and really allowed me to get the best out of myself. I can't recommend this course highly enough to people who are interested in humorous cartooning. Also, the price is very reasonable for the value that's on offer.
The course was extremely good, well constructed and the whole experience more than exceeded my expectations. The admin/tech support staff were excellent - Melanie was very helpful throughout. The tutor, John Byrne, was exceptional. His comments were totally constructive, well thought out and always very helpful. A great course!
Lovely course and very helpful. I would use a course like this again.
Good course to lay down the base of your knowledge about the specific course and after that you can by practising get improved.
Just saying thank you very much, my tutor was really helpful and very kind. Thank you :) :) :) :)
