It’s been a while, but I’ll be back shortly with some new content – and this time on video… lots of videos…lots of cartooning. See you soon.
It’s been a while, but I’ll be back shortly with some new content – and this time on video… lots of videos…lots of cartooning. See you soon.
Here’s a little personal story:
Some time ago I made the video “Spontaneous Cartooning” and published it on You Tube. It’s not had a great many views yet, but I’ve not been very active in promoting it. But I did post a link to my 12 year old nephew who was living in Cambodia up until a month ago… and he loved it.
Are you stuck for something to draw, or out of funny ideas for your cartoons? Here’s a simple solution: Look up some old cartoon gags and revamp them… bring them up to date.
Is a humoristic drawing a cartoon? Does a cartoon have to be a humoristic drawing? Is there a difference between a humoristic drawing and a cartoon?
All creative processes require some level of inspiration – drawing cartoons is no exception. That inspiration can come from things you see or hear, it can come from viewing the work of others… but it can also come from within yourself – you can inspire yourself through your own achievements.
Welcome back. Let’s quickly take a look at the body-form of a dog (top), and compare that to a cat (bottom).
Dogs are great to draw as cartoons. The reason for this is that more than any other animal – including humans – dogs come in a huge variety of shapes, sizes, forms, colours, patterns and textures. Just think of well-known types as Basset hound, Chihuahua, Terriers, Dalmations, Pitbulls, Daschunds, Bulldogs, Rottweilers, Saint Bernhards and Labradors…
Dogs is our next subject, and to start this set of tutorials I’ll begin with a “dog” cartoon – actually a “dog and cat” cartoon to be more precise.
