    The teacher was knowledgeable and talented. I went from barely able to draw faces to being able to make scenes with complete figures and interesting backgrounds. The use of technology makes it even easier to look at what you’re drawing and what’s being shown by the teacher (on Zoom) at the same time. The prompts for the assignments were REALLy good, and I enjoyed all of the things I made in this class. Definitely highly recommend.

    At the beginning I was a bit skeptical on how much you can learn from a 5 class course (I just had a short time window available), but -at the end of it- I can definitely say I am very happy I have taken it. Josh Bayer is a talented artist and a great, great instructor. Always on time, extremely professional but not stiff, he packs every class with a whole lot of information and inspiration. He manages to keep things simple and easy for everyone, creating a learning environment that is very supportive, engaging and stimulating. He is also deeply committed in enhancing everyone's specific skills and style. I feel I have gained a lot from this course and I would definitely take more classes with him if only I had not moved overseas! Many thanks for this course, best wishes for your future educational activities!

    Cartooning & Illustration for Beginners with Josh Bayer was a great beginner class for getting right into making cartoons and comics for adults. Josh covered some essential subjects in each class with demonstrations and gave in-class assignments based on the subject matter. We covered various topics like crosshatching, drawing the female form, shadow and light, paneling, inking, and perspective. Homework assignments were fun and built on the skills developed in class. Josh and others got a chance to critique assignments and make suggestions. Josh's suggestions were always right on the money. Class had a great range of abilities and styles, and all were welcomed and encouraged. Everyone got to develop their own thing, in their own way. I highly recommend this class to those who are interested in a basic intro to the art form.
