Christmas Cartoon Workshop with Rob Middleton

Get into the festive spirit with this jolly introduction to Christmas cartooning, even if you've never sketched before...
In this fun-packed two-hour workshop, you'll learn how to transform simple shapes into cheerful Christmas characters. We'll explore festive favourites like Santa, reindeer, snowmen, and more, discovering what makes each one perfectly suited for your own handmade Christmas cards.
We'll unwrap techniques for creating a range of expressions that bring personality and holiday cheer to your festive creations. Your characters will jingle, shine, and spread Christmas magic across the page!
No previous artistic experience necessary – just bring your enthusiasm and festive spirit. By the end of the session, you'll have the confidence to create your own Christmas cartoon cards to send to friends and family, making this holiday season extra special.
As a bonus, you'll receive a PDF containing all the exercises from the workshop, so you can practice and perfect your Christmas drawing techniques at home.
Perfect for anyone wanting to add a personal touch to their Christmas greetings, creative explorers, or those looking for a festive creative escape. The workshop is filled with friendly guidance, practical tips, and plenty of ho-ho-ho-sized fun.
So grab your pencils and join us for some Christmas cartooning magic!
