How to Draw Cartoons
Cartoons are one of the most fun things to draw.
When you are determining how to draw cartoons, you will want to consider several things about the character that you are drawing.
Whatever you decide, you will next want to determine what type of personality your cartoon is going to have. This will help you to determine the gestures that you will add to the cartoon.
How about a Cartoon Dog?
How to draw a cartoon dog can be broken down into very simple steps. After all, cartoons are unique because they are very simple, yet very expressive.
Step 1
Begin by breaking your cartoon dog down into his basic parts. Start by drawing a simple oval shape. This is the base of the head for your dog.
Step 2
Next, draw a second oval shape except this one is on its side. This will be your dog’s muzzle. Now you will draw a smaller oval within this one for the dog’s nose.
Step 3
Draw the eyes. The left eye needs to be a small circle with a smaller pupil circle inside it. The right eye should be a larger oval shape with a slightly larger pupil.
Step 4
Now you will want to add a simple mouth, tongue and a couple of teeth. Next, draw some floppy ears and you should have a fairly decent looking cartoon dog.
Step 5
Go back and erase any unnecessary lines that are apparent from your basic shapes. This allows you to make the cartoon dog look more realistic. You can also add in a little color to give some more personality.
Experiment with cartoons and enjoy the results!
