Finding Out How To Draw Cartoon Characters

By Essie Osborn


Hearing the sound of your children's laughter when you sit down with them and quickly sketch a funny bunny or show them how to do the same thing is music to many peoples ears. Not everybody can do this for their kids but it is possible to do if you have a desire to learn. The art of how to draw cartoon characters is available to everybody who wants it.

Accessing lessons and instructors is not difficult. There most likely is someone local who can teach you the basics. Hopefully this person will be someone you will make a connection with. It is important to communicate freely with the person teaching you to draw. Learning is much easier when you are comfortable with the instructor.

Private instructors are also available. You may find one that is located locally and private instruction should afford you the time to become very proficient at cartooning. Most instructors that work from their homes will take the extra effort to teach proper techniques because a successful student is their best advertisement.

You may also choose to search the internet for this training. There are multiple sites offering different types of this specialty drawing. Some offer video lessons and others use the printed word and pictorial examples. There are different styles that you can choose from online. You will see sites that will teach you to create your favorite dragons from the comics or even bugs bunny from the Disney line up. You can learn to draw all of your favorites on these sites.

The basics of creating your own funny faces and people can also be learned from the internet. By using your imagination you will be able to take the techniques shown online and make original comics or comedic animals. You will learn where to position the eyes and ears on the faces as well as to create expressions on the faces you make. It is said that you can model the facial expressions after faces that you make yourself. You might want to practice in the mirror before you put them to paper.

The same type of training can be found in colleges and night classes locally. The process may take a much longer time to finish when using these resources. They have a tendency to work towards preparations for the next class in the full course and getting the student more familiar with art in general.

You may also want to consider seeking everything that is offered in book stores. There are so many books available to help an aspiring cartoonist that will specifically show everything you want to know. In books you have permanent references to draw from should you find something you need to freshen up in your mind or a new concept you would like to try. The library is also an excellent resource for anyone wanting to attempt cartooning.

Setting a goal of learning to be a skilled cartoonist can be a lot of fun for you. Because of the techniques you learn a world of fantasy will open up to both you and your family and should you want to try to create a career of your new talent you will have a very good start.
