So many of the animated series for television and youth-based children's books focus on the life and times of young school kids. Almost every single I have worked on has a set of kids ranging in early elementary school to early teens in high school. For this assignment please design a group of school along with a teacher or an administrator. There should be 5 total students, and the one teacher/principal/security guard.


STEP ONE- Pick early elementary, or late teen in high school

(do something different than your normal drawing style)

STEP THREE- Gather reference

STEP FIVE- Rough Line Up
