Finding Out How To Draw Cartoon Characters

By Essie Osborn


Who doesn't like to amuse their children by drawing cute little animals and people for them? It takes a little practice and no small amount of skill to create these pictures for them. You can find out how to draw cartoon characters that will amaze everyone who sees them.

You can access lessons in quite a few places but finding the instructor that works best for you may take some searching. In order to get the skills you need you first need an instructor that you connect with. Someone that is willing to work with you at your pace and knows when to put a little more pressure on you if necessary.

There are private teachers that specialize in this type of drawing available where you live. These instructors will take time to help you reach your goals with very little trouble. They have skill levels that enable them to take you to the expert levels of drawing that might allow you to consider a career in the field.

The internet is a great place to find cartooning instruction. There are a multitude of sites online that will guide you through the rigors of learning these skills. You may be able to choose between video learning and those sites that offer written instructions and sample drawings to work from. Some websites will take you through the process of creating some of your favorite fantasy heroes as well as Daffy Duck and Goofy. If you want to sketch these familiar faces you definitely may learn to do it online.

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.

You may choose to access courses at local colleges as well as in night courses in other locations. As a rule there is more time spent in the classroom with these options because they offer a more generalized look into art rather than focusing on cartooning. This form of training can last for years if you take the full line of classes.

Looking into book stores is also a very good resource for those wanting to learn these techniques. The multitude of books on this subject will lead the dedicated cartoonist to success. You should develop your own drawing style while studying these books. The authors are professionals who have made a career out of their skills. The library is yet another option available to you. It has all of the same book as the book store without the expense of purchasing them.

Whether you want to use drawing as an amusement for your friends or as a step towards a new career there is no shortage of ways to learn to do it. You will be able to take lessons from professionals or self teach yourself either online or from books written by experts. Either way, reaching your goal should be nothing but fun for you.
