JLI invites artists to develop their painting techniques as inspired by the work of Man of Action's BEN 10. The animated series follows ten year old Ben Tennyson who finds a device out in the woods called the Omnitrix, which allows him to turn into ten different aliens species. Throughout his summer vacation, travelling the country in the Rustbucket with his Grandpa Max and his cousin Gwen, Ben fights crime and evil aliens with his new powers, gaining the ability to turn into more aliens along the way.

JLI welcomes you to our new drawing basics class format that includes the beginnings of the illustrated genre in cartoon and comic art. This quarter we will look at the creative works of the Ben 10 and their many alien inspired characters brought to the world by creators Man of Action.

JLI brings tradtional and digital techniques together using the making of maquettes as inspired by the work of Pixar films Ratatouille and the Incredibles. Learn the process and materials used to form the head of these popular characters and create new 3D ones of your own.

Join us on Mondays 430-530.

JLI renews its development of talented graphic artist with a return to comic book art. This quarter we will use the artwork of illustrator Alex Ross as reference.
