February 10th - Perspective Tutorial

Salutations, Allies!

Cartoon Allies strives to be both a professional and social resource for our comics community. We hope to cultivate an environment that encourages collaboration, networking, and making life-long friendships. While we've been introducing more technique-focused events, CA should still be a place for meeting new friends and bridging gaps between classes, years, and departments. We hope that you come for the events, but stay for your friends. This week, we invite you to join us for a student-hosted tutorial on perspective and to get reacquainted with old buddies.

PERSPECTIVE TUTORIAL
This Friday, 2/10
6:30 - Room 703G


An introduction or refresher to creating solid backgrounds!
Major Arroyo will cover the basics of one-, two-, and three-point perspective, along with extra tips and tricks. Check under the cut for specifics, coming events, and other business, including information regarding the CA Zine and the Fresh Meat Poster Search.


Do you always leave your backgrounds for last? Did you chuck everything you learned about perspective sophomore year out of your brain so you could follow the plot of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy? Do you think a "vanishing point" is the temperature at which a ninja goes invisible? Bring a few colored pencils, a C-Thru ruler, and a drawing pad to this week's meeting as the Major gives us a perspective rundown!

 Not only will we be covering the basics, but we'll also discuss such topics as working out perspective on a deadline, when to use it, and conventional and unconventional resources for learning more about perspective and finding inspiration.


And next week, we'll be holding our first Draw-Off! A rotating referee will announce a subject for three cartoonists to draw on a large drawing pad. Show off your mad speed-drawing skills or how wildly you can depict a subject compared to the other competitors! Participants will rotate to involve as many volunteers as we can. RSVP on Facebook so we can gauge how many attendees we'll have. If we get enough, we might order some pizza!
