A joke in modern youth slang means something like an original joke. Thanks to the joke, a whole direction appeared in the visual arts. On closer inspection, the joke, as a rule, turns out to be either a well-known caricature, caricature or an anime-style drawing. Perhaps one of the innovations is graffiti - a kind of painting the exterior walls of houses and fences. They can be in the form of drawings, inscriptions or whimsical colorful images.

Instructions
Step 1
For example, here is how a caricature or a cartoon is born. The task of the artist is to give mobility to the static image of the face. Draw a fuzzy outline of the head, sketch out the face. Increase its proportions, select one detail (nose, cheekbones, chin) and draw it more clearly. For greater effect, you can draw everything in a graphic style, and paint the selected fragment with watercolors.
Step 2
In the cartoon, the proportions are exaggerated, deliberately distorted, as a result of which the face comes to life, while maintaining the resemblance to the original. To master this art, you need to know well the structural features of the human face and body, since they are the main object of the cartoonist's work. It is necessary to train your powers of observation wherever you are. Of course, one cannot do without a sense of humor, otherwise the cartoon will not have its zest.
Step 3
The anime style used in Japanese cartoons is very popular among young people. For those who wish to master it, it is worth starting by copying. This is how you can understand its features before embarking on independent creativity. So, anime-style eyes can be simple and complex. The complexity of the image will depend on the number of colors used, the level of shadows and highlights. The easiest option is eyes with a pair of highlights. The more difficult the task, the more varied the palette of shadows and highlights looks.
Step 4
Finally, graffiti. Despite the seeming modernity, there is a connection with the ancient rock paintings of our distant ancestors in his images. On the way to perfection, the future graffiti master will have to master his alphabet, which is a kind of secret language with his own style of writing letters and words.
Practice on individual letters. Start with simple copying, do not try to write in large letters, master the size of the album sheet first.
Step 5
There are several types of graffiti, including an extreme version called Bombing, practiced in the Moscow metro and on ground trains. Among the graffiti styles, Throw-up is popular, the simplest one, performed in two colors - black, white or silver. When painting graffiti, use its characteristic contrast and color combination. This style is especially good for beginners because of the simplicity of its execution.
