Transformation stages of cartoon drawing animals.
Cartoon drawing, animals or humans or any other subject, is synonymous with caricaturing – finding the most recognizable physical features of the subject and then drawing them in a more, or less, simplified or exaggerated manner.
There are as many ways to draw funny animal characters as there are to draw funny humans. And the goal is the same – to modify the features, by simplifying or exaggerating them, in order to create a caricature of the real thing.
This “Cartoon of the week” I’ve taken from the archives of cartoons I designed for my e-book, featured on this site.
I could call myself lucky – I was born with a talent for drawing. I drew often as a child and received praise aplenty for my artworks…sometimes too much praise. But despite all the 10’s for art homework, I never received more than the expected admiration..I never received any actual tutoring or inspiration to develop my talent. By 14 years of age I’d lost all sense of interest, and turned my creative attention to photography.
In this week’s “Cartoon of the Week” I’ve chosen an example from a series I created called: “The Downside of Being a Millionaire”.
