It all started with the decision to learn cartooning a couple of years ago. The road to this decision has been long and winding, however, I came across the DaVinci Cartooning Course<\/a> and signed up.<\/p>

The course is a 100% online excercise and conducted with a combination of forums and photo sites. You get weekly assignments through a forum and feedback from the teacher and your class mates via the forum, too.<\/p>

So I started drawing cartoons daily. Daily? Yes? The idea of the DaVinci course is, that you should budget 15-30 minutes of drawing each day. Some days I drew for longer. Cartooning is a matter of practice. But compared to learning an instrument or some foreign language, cartooning is a whole lot of fun and it became the perfect outlet for the daily spat at work.<\/p>

In the very beginning I drew circly cirles with a pencil on paper, then copied cartoon characters with color pencils on paper and practised and practised.\u00a0 After a while, during the second or third level of the course, I started to develop my own cartoon character: “Damian” was born.<\/strong><\/p>

In parallel I started figuring out a worflow of drawing digitally. I tried out almost everything from scanning pencil sketches and colouring them im Photoshop with a Wacom tablet, over drawing with a Bamboo Pencil on digital paper until I came across my beloved iPad Pro and my Apple Pencil.<\/p>

Today I’m drawing on the iPad only. I’m using Adobe Sketch as an app because it is extremely user friendly and it allows to use layers – as in Photoshop. For “post production” I transfer the sketches as layered PSD files to the PC and finish them in InDesign or Photoshop.<\/p>
