Sunday Funday: Cartoon Portraiture

In this fun-filled creative session, young artists turn themselves, their friends, and their family into playful cartoon characters. Participants will explore the basics of portrait drawing while learning how to exaggerate features, bring out emotions, and discover their own unique cartoon style. Using simple drawing techniques and bright, vibrant colours, participants will create imaginative cartoon portraits full of personality, and take their finished artwork home at the end of the session.

Why Choose This Workshop?

Designed for children, this hands-on workshop offers a relaxed and engaging space where creativity comes first and there is no wrong way to draw. It gently builds observation skills, self-expression, and artistic confidence, all wrapped up in the simple joy of inventing a character. Whether participants love to draw already or are just starting out, they will leave smiling, encouraged, and proud of a colourful cartoon portrait that is entirely their own.

What Participants Will Learn?

Participants will learn the basics of drawing a portrait — looking closely at faces and understanding how features come together. They will discover how to exaggerate and play with those features the way cartoonists do, how to show emotions and personality through their drawing, and how to bring it all to life with vibrant colour. Along the way, they will begin to develop their own cartoon style, leaving with a finished portrait and the confidence to keep drawing and inventing characters of their own.
