The objective of this course is to learn the fundamental steps so that you can create your own news bulletin. First of all, introduce yourself to the role of the cartoon in the world of communication and discover its full potential through the new channels. Next, and before picking up the pencil, work on obtaining the script from a creative process to allow you to get new ideas flowing. Raúl takes apart numerous cartoons in order to show you an interesting list of very common creative resources in the work of different authors. Once the idea is obtained and the script is finalized, go on to create the image of the cartoon with the final drawing.
Devise and bring to life a comedic cartoon based on current news. This course provides you with the tricks and tools to be able to produce a new cartoon day after day, news item after news item.

Anyone who wants to understand the mechanism of cartoon humor and who wants to use the pencil as a critical weapon. It is not necessary to know how to draw since, as Raúl indicates, you can create a story with very simple lines.
A pencil, paper, markers, a computer with Photoshop, and the desire to make your friends laugh and embarrass your enemies.

Gostei muito do curso, não tinha ideia realmente de como eram feitas as charges (desenhos). Isso me será útil para levar as caricaturas e cartoons, que são o meu objetivo final.
Interessante perché ben fatto. Accessibile anche grazie alla possibilità di scegliere la lingua, spiega in modo chiaro supportando la teoria con esempi pratici davvero stimolanti. Mi piace molto perché alla fine di ogni lezione sento di aver guadagnato qualcosa in più.
Muy buen curso: me aclaro algunas dudas y descubri otras que no sabia con respecto al humor grafico. Lo recomiendo

A current events cartoon is a brief illustration that tackles recent social, political, or economic topics, using humor or critique to spark opinion and debate. It helps simplify complex messages and encourages reflection in media and on social platforms.
The course is intermediate level, perfect for those with basic drawing skills or an interest in graphic humor who want to deepen their understanding and creation of current events cartoons.
You’ll learn to distinguish between informative and opinion cartoons, craft critical scripts, apply graphic humor techniques, master political satire, and develop your own style for creating and sharing current events cartoons.
You only need basic drawing supplies (paper, pencils, markers) and access to a computer with graphic editing software like Photoshop to digitize and color your cartoons.
An effective opinion cartoon combines a clear script, expressive drawing, and a critical message that invites reflection. Balancing humor with the core idea is key to grabbing attention and getting your point across.
Pick a relevant topic, write a script with a critical angle, and use tools like comparison, double meanings, or exaggeration to strengthen your visual and humorous message.
Avoid defamation, respect people’s image rights, and steer clear of hate speech or discrimination. It’s important to differentiate between fair satire and gratuitous offense, and to know the current laws on freedom of expression.
