One key area unaffected by outsourcing is the local arts arena. To assist talented artists in supplementing income eaten away by rising prices and ga$ price greed, South Florida Caricature Artist Captain Cartoon is launching a paid online caricature course! These unique sessions will provide a foundation for caricature drawing, cartooning and illustration, with the prime focus on caricatures.

For years the Captain actually avoided the caricature circuit in favor of studio artwork, but all that changed when, at a local marina, tourists lined up for caricatures -- non-stop -- for three hours! The tip jar was overflowing. And while the Captain -- at 52 -- had not yet donned the "Captain Cartoon personna" (and nor did he have a caricature system), that first night was a huge success, in spite of cheapo markers and a sharpie! That's because the Captain had a knack for drawing faces that "looked like" the people he drew. AND, he overcame his own shyness as people delighted in watching him draw!

Go to http://www.aboutfacesentertainers.com and check out rates caricature artists charge, and you'll see the potential for you!

Here are the online caricature course particulars:

• You'll receive a list of the best tools (pens, colors and paper) to use, and suggested outlets that sell them.

• You'll get marketing tips and suggestions as to how to launch your cartoon caricature career. (Yes, you will get some insider tips!)

• You'll get (at least) five caricature reviews (of your drawings) -- and instructions for improvement with each review. (There is little doubt that he'd continue to monitor your work as you send it to him long past the course.)

• The ongoing instruction will be based on what you can already do (or not do.)

In total, you'll receive ten emails/responses for the duration of the course. The asking price is $100 -- which you'll make back at your very first event!

IMPORTANT: The Captain will only take on ten students this month (July) -- and only after you submit a sample of your work via jpeg or pdf (or website.) Those whom are approved will commence the online caricature course immediately. (Note: You need not be an accomplished pro -- but the Captain needs to see your talent,)

SIGN UP for the Captain Cartoon Online Caricature Course ASAP! You'll receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to proceed upon your acceptance as a student.
