How Can Draw Cartoon Character

When it comes to drawing, learning how to draw cartoon characters – those we know from the many popular comics, TV shows and movies…

Iis a very enjoyable way to go about it.

We all have our favorites, and for sure – we've all thought at one point or another…

"Woudn't it be cool if I could draw that character?!"

Snoopy, Hello Kitty…

Spongebob!

There all sorts of different famous cartoon characters to draw.

…

In this area of the site, I'd like to show you how to draw some of my favorite characters – and more importantly…

Some of yours!

There's been lots of feedback as to who wants to draw what, so I've got a pretty good idea of what kinds of drawing lessons should be up in this section.

How to draw Cartoon Characters

Regarding the style of which the lessons are presented, I think it would be best to still to a very close likeness to the actual characters.

In other sections — Cartoon Heroes & Star Wars, going for a simplified likeness is fun as many of the characters are so popular – so iconic, that so long as you maintain certain attributes…

They look like the characters you're trying to draw.

Here though, many of the famous characters I'll be making lessons around are already simple enough in nature that it only makes sense to draw close to how they would normally look.

Keeping to a framework-first approach to help you out (if maintaining proportion early on is something you find to be helpful), we'll do the same here with these lessons, building up from there.

Alright then, I'd say now's a pretty good time to get started.
