Sally had...again...and again...
There was a slowly forming Eiger-mountain of screwed up balls of paper containing failed drawings next to her desk - and if she’d been working digitally she would have almost worn out the ‘undo’ button if that was at all possible...
She wasn’t trying for a perfect pooch, but she did want a more correct canine than the ones she’s just drawn...
She thought it would be fun to draw some dogs, and even better if she could share them with her friends or put them on her site.
At the moment though her doodles were more likely to generate a howl rather than a tail wag of joy...
Maybe you’ve also at times felt a bit like Sally, and pondered whether cartooning is simply a talent that some folks are born with...while others struggle...
Perhaps you’ve already drawn a few dogs, but somehow they didn’t quite turn out right - and you couldn’t quite work out why.
Whether you’re starting out in cartooning, or looking to to work on your skills, it would be nice to draw some dogs.
Cartooning is not fine arts, but it would be nice to get your dogs looking a bit better.
If only you had a reliable system to help you understand dogs better - and how to draw them.
A step-by-step guide that would give you clear directions to know what to do, when to do it, why you should do it, and how to do it.
That way you'd have confidence during the whole process – every paw-step of the way.

Some Frequently Asked Questions:
Can you show me how to be a great cartoonist?
I can show you some techniques to help you improve your cartooning, but nobody became a great or even good cartoonist as the result of doing one course or reading one book. This is a skill you can learn like any other - and like learning any skill it takes time to put it into practice.
What equipment do I need to do this course?
You don’t need anything other than a pen and paper. However, feel free to use hardware or drawing app you like. The principles work equally well if you are working with the latest tech or prefer to go old school.
I don’t know how to use Procreate (or some other drawing app) Will this course show me how to use it? Can you help me?
This course isn’t about learning how to use any particular drawing app or software, so it would be good to have a working knowledge of Procreate before the course starts. However, it is likely you’ll pick up a few tips about Procreate during the course.
How much time do I need to do this course?
I recommend putting aside around 20 minutes a day, as it’s better to try the exercises for yourself as you go along.
Why should I listen to you?
I’ve drawn thousands of cartoons, and made an awful lot of mistakes while doing so. Along the way I’ve picked up quite a few tips and tricks which have made my cartoons a lot better - and can do the same for you too
What if I don’t like the course?
While I try hard to make courses and to answer any student request, I realise that sometimes it just doesn’t work out. My standard refund policy is a 30-Day, 100% Money-Back Guarantee. If you don't love this, email me at: rob@everyonelovescartoons.com any time during the first 30 days and show me you're doing the exercises and not getting results. I’ll refund 100% of the purchase price.
I’ve already got a holiday booked for one of the weeks, will I fall behind?
It’s an eight-week course, so there’s time to catch-up. If need be, I can jump on a Zoom call and help you out.
