Course Description
This Course is about exploring drawing approach based on structural construction by using the essential drawing tools such as paper and pencils. You`ll see that drawing is fun and an exciting process! The online Course before you is about chracters and how to create them the cartoony way! I am privileged to share with you my vast experiences with cartooning from my own endeavors, along with working for Disney, Warner Bros. and Steven Spielberg`s AMBLIMATION, A Division of Universal Pictures, Ltd. among many others.
And this is just a beginning... For sketching is how you begin the drawing... ANY drawing, no matter if it`s an architectural design, background study, anatomical research or planning the animation, illustration or comics strip storytelling!
The Course could be completed in a month or at the Student`s leisure, for it is structured with comprehensible chapters addressing beginners and those polishing their existing skills concerning how to draw. The Course consists of videos only, because all you need is to start drawing, without any additional excercies - at least at this particular stage.
So, let's get to work!

It is a great match for me! As someone who had troubles in the past with drawing traditionally, seeing someone guide me to how he does it does help a lot. Not only that, but the commentary adds a sense of realness to the art making process, which is always a nice addition.

Even if I am novice, this course is easy to follow. It gives essential steps in sketching the characters.

I liked the exercises and interludes. I am glad you didn't do only perfect lines, so I feel inspired that I can try and mistakes are allowed. Thank you for a great course.

This is appropriate for someone who has very little experience drawing characters.

Wonderful little course that shows you an over the shoulder peek at a true pro at work. I'm grateful to Bojan M. Djukic for this beautiful insight into his approach and his style. Mucho Gracious

Just watching a former Disney artist who is a consummate cartoonist and all-round artist is instructive in itself. Bojan is superb at what he does, and he can teach anyone a lot.
By Nicholas John Pozega on 8/23/2016
Very nice course! Quick to the point and gives practical advice about drawing! The artist, Bojan, is very likable and engaging and makes it fun to draw along with him as he teaches you!
