Hanging by a Kite

Are you struggling to move beyond ‘good’ Stick figures because you can’t get the clothes, face and hair to look ‘right’?

Hanging by a Kite
Stick figures are simple once you master the joints but taking them beyond the bare bones is surprisingly tricky. Adding substance to the body… adding detail for the face and hair… producing something that looks better than a pre-schooler? It feels impossible.
What if you could memorise a simple formula…
…to develop a cartoon character without needing any extra drawing skills beyond the ones you have right now?

Introducing the Cartoon Character Kit

Cartoon Character Kit
The Cartoon Character Kit is a 6-step process that walks you through creating your first-ever cartoon character.

You will learn a workflow for creating your character without frustration and how to get started right away.

If you use the Cartoon Character Kit you’ll quickly end up with a workable cartoon character that you can take great delight in developing much further.

You’ll learn:

  • 2 critical areas for resemblance so that you capture some of the uniqueness of a particular person.
  • The single body part proportion that needs to be anchored in reality to avoid a very odd look.

I heard Alison interviewed on the radio and went through her website with a fine-tooth comb.

I tried out all the practical tips, watched the videos and decided I wanted more of the same.

I finished this short course in one day.

It worked out fabulously well.

I created a little character and I have the template for creating more. It’s so exciting because I can see immediate results! I’m now creating cartoon characters for the whole family.

What I liked most was that it felt really personalised ...

… not just a cookie-cutter course where I might not even have existed.

Other benefits:

I bought the Premium version so I received a wonderfully detailed video presentation from Alison explaining ways to improve my character, as well as areas where I had done well. She gave me great feedback — much more than I expected.

I have already created my first full cartoon scene which I have shared with family and friends and I now have the confidence to explore and create in an area of expression which I have always wanted to try.

Anyone can do this — as long as they can draw a stick figure.

I’m so happy I did it, this is something that I have wanted to do for many years.

The course way exceeded my expectations

Alison offers a wonderful, professional and friendly service.

I assumed that cartoon characters are complex and require specific personas and many dimensions.

As my character was ‘born’ all my preconceptions gave way, and I experienced (creative) freedom.

There was a part of me that still felt “Max” (my character) was too simple and two-dimensional but I took that feeling and channelled it to making him a really animated and experiential character. He has evolved a lot and will continue to do so.

The process of making him gave me the experience of being a creator.

What’s inside?

  • Video lessons including “do this now” demonstrations (short and to the point; no ya-da, ya-da)
  • Lesson notes
  • Practice sheets to keep you on track
  • Self-explanatory ‘quizzes’ to pin down key learning points

What this course is about

  • Using drawing techniques every adult has already mastered
  • Harnessing observations (rather than waiting for inspiration to strike)
  • Following a clear creation process — to avoid second-guessing yourself
  • Avoiding confusion through concrete instructions
  • Being do-able in 30 minute sessions
  • Creating a ‘first draft’ character for future development

What this course is NOT about

  • Creating hyper-realistic caricatures
  • Developing your ‘ultimate’ character (that never needs re-tweaking)

What’s unique about this cartoon colouring course?

The unexpectedness of it.

People think that character creation is an exercise in waiting for inspiration to strike. In reality, every iconic character starts as a ‘first draft’ and creating that first draft is a process not a mystery. You’ll be able to say, “I’ve got a springboard now. I can keep playing around and I’ll see more and more of this character emerge.”
