Creating Fun One-Panel at a Time

July 19 - July 20th at CTN Studio

Join award-winning cartoonist and storyteller Mike Kunkel (creator of Herobear and the Kid) for a special two-day, in-person cartooning workshop at CTN Studio in Burbank!

Times:

• Saturday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM 

• Sunday: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM 

  • Ages: 16 and up

Overview

Whether you're just getting started or have years of drawing behind you, this workshop is built to inspire and encourage artists at any level. Over two days, you'll immerse in a hands-on, creatively charged weekend as Mike guides you through the nuts and bolts of print cartooning—everything from sketching expressive characters and writing cartoon gags to laying out panels and telling stories that land and connect. The workshop will explore the heart of cartoon storytelling, character creation, and the power of drawing from your own voice. Mike will share his personal process—from sketchbook to storytelling—and offer a rare behind-the-scenes look at his journey as both an animator and independent cartoonist. You'll explore how to bring your own ideas to life on the page, with plenty of drawing time, group feedback, and one-on-one moments to help push your work further. 


By the end, you'll walk away with finished cartoons, new tools in your creative toolkit, and fresh momentum to inspire you for your own projects.

Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their work at CTNX 2025 and connect with the vibrant and welcoming Kunkel Community in person. It’s a chance to share your voice, grow your network, and be part of something meaningful.

Details

The workshop includes:

✔️ Drawing & comic and cartoon storytelling demos

✔️ Personal project insights

✔️ Presentation of past & current work

✔️ Group discussion & creative exercises

✔️ Completion of sharable projects

✔️ Optional book signing and portfolio review and Q&A
