Cartoons are not just pictures that come to life, but a whole form of art. Everyone loves cartoons - both children and adults. And many people also like to portray their favorite heroes, or maybe they dream of creating their own.
Instructions
Step 1
Draw cartoon characters you already know. Before creating your own technique, you definitely need to get to know strangers. Choose your favorite cartoon characters - it can be heroes of Soviet or Disney cartoons, for example. Start by redrawing the characters. Find matching pictures in books, magazines, or on the internet. At worst, you can just turn on the cartoon and pause it. Draw exactly the character you like from different angles. So you will remember the nature of his movements, distinctive features, facial expressions, etc. After that, you can draw your character yourself, in those positions in which you want, and not just sketch him.
Step 2
Learn to draw realistic cartoon characters. Some cartoon characters are very similar in appearance to real people. Drawing them is very useful, because in this way you get acquainted with the anatomy of the human body, get acquainted with the proportions. It will help you in portraying superheroes and anime characters, for example.
Step 3
Learn to draw manga. No matter how much controversy rages over the harm or benefits of anime and manga, their characters are a special kind of art. The portrayal of anime and manga heroes has dozens of subtleties. There are specialized sites and books dedicated to how to draw these characters. First, learn to draw individual elements - eyes, hair, hands, nose, clothes. Then start sketching entire characters - just like in the previous step, first sketch the already finished characters, and then start coming up with something of your own. Perhaps you will be able to create your own, completely unique character.
Step 4
Try to create your own painting technique. If you look closely at the many different cartoons, you will see that each cartoonist has its own author's techniques. Of course, sometimes they are the same for different artists, because they are subordinate to the canon. All Disney princesses are alike, just like all anime characters. But they are still not identical. Create your own character. Think about what character he will have, what features. Come up with a whole story for him, situations in which he finds himself, and then try to portray him, thus creating your own technique.
