The funny cartoon characters are distinguished by their striking personality, which is strongly reflected in their appearance, and extremely attractive for both beginners and experienced artists. If you want to learn how to draw animated characters, just show a little perseverance and master the technique of drawing in a similar style. In this article, you will learn how to draw a simple elderly character.
Instructions
Step 1
Draw a ball on a piece of paper with a pencil and draw two criss-cross arcs through its center, directed to the right - they will be the guide lines for the future face. Draw another ball at the bottom and left, two to three times the size of the first ball.
Step 2
With its upper part, it should go to the left sector of the future head of the character, ending just above its center. In this way, you will be able to outline the recognizable figure of an elderly old man. If you want to draw a slender young man, the body will need to be shaped differently.
Step 3
Draw the outlines of the future boots under the body-ball, the noses of which are directed to the right. After that, connect the torso with the boots so as to draw the outlines of the loose trousers.
Step 4
Determine the position in which the character's arms will be, and draw the brushes in the form of circles, and then connect them with the contours of bent or straight arms with the body. Continue drawing the character - make the main outlines brighter, finalize the folds on the trousers and the outlines of the boots.
Step 5
Draw a cane for the character to support with one hand. Draw fingers on the circles of the palms. For a cartoon character, four sketchy fingers in the palm of your hand are quite enough.
Step 6
Detail the drawing - finish the clothes, form folds on the fabric, pockets, lacing, and so on. Sketch the main lines of the face. Draw on the character's face a rounded nose, eyebrows, and a smiling mouth with a beard or mustache.
Step 7
Don't leave the head shape perfectly round - reshape it for more authenticity. Make your forehead taller and your chin more powerful.
Step 8
Refine the drawing, erase the auxiliary lines, outline the contours - your character is ready.
