Join award-winning cartoonist Jonathan Case for a workshop on observational drawing. Learn how a professional illustrator brings life to characters, props and environments, then try out those skills yourself. Even the most fantastical drawing begins with observation--and with careful observation, there's no limit to what we can draw. Jonathan Case is the illustrator of the graphic novel, "Little Monarchs."
