A guide to the drawing cartoon bodies! In this class, graphic novelist Ira Marcks will lead you through the basics of cartoon proportion, torso styles, limbs, hands, and feet. Next, we'll apply gravity to the situation and give our new character a sense of balance. Then we apply our skills by creating a series of emotive and action-packed poses!
