Welcome to the Club!
What's up everyone and welcome to the club! Thanks for visiting the home of the Cartooning Club formerly known as Cartooning 4 Kids. I teach young and new artists of all ages and skills levels how to draw using simple step by step video tutorials. I share all my art lessons on Youtube and best of all, they're FREE.
My name is MRTY. I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I'm a former professional artist working in the film and video game industry. I have one of the largest online drawing tutorial libraries in the world- thousands of videos and more being added each day through our main Youtube channel, Cartooning Club, and our junior channel for our younger artists called Cartooning Club Junior.
My goal is to introduce the basic fundamentals of drawing from past professional experiences and help build confidence in children and young artists around the world. I believe creativity and art education should be fun and free. Check out today's Feature Video below and visit my Youtube channel to access all the various subject playlists.

LATEST TUTORIAL
Today we’re drawing and coloring Elf on the Shelf for Christmas. All you need is some paper and something to draw and color with. In this tutorial I’m using a standard Sharpie fine point marker and Bianyo color markers but you can use anything available to you.
Check out more tutorials on my Youtube homepage or go to the LESSONS page here. You'll find a variety of playlists with many of your favourite characters that you can draw.
Art Supplies
Wondering what we use to draw in our lessons? Sharpie pens is our go to for most of our lessons but I encourage you to use whatever you're comfortable with and what you have available around the house. No need to go out and purchase expensive supplies, markers, coloring pens or paper. Our channel started with a plain sheet of printer paper and a laundry marker I had laying around the house.
You can find most of what you need to complete our lessons at your local craft or art supply store.
If you have access to graphics software then I highly recommend Adobe Photoshop. Just scan your drawing with a smartphone or camera, import to your computer and start coloring. I have a video tutorial on my entire coloring process here.
If you're into our sketch tutorials then this is what I use most:

For Artists, Parents and Educators
I hope that my art tutorials will continue to inspire, engage and educate throughout your artistic journey. I love art and I love kids. I dedicated my life to teaching the skills that have helped me become a professional artist working on amazing projects that continue to benefit my life. Art is a foundation that can be applied to enhance any career or future endeavour.
