How do I learn to draw like a cartoon artist?
Here's the thing. Cartoonists, the good ones, can all draw realistically very well. First you have to learn the fundamentals of drawing itself, see the answers to How can I learn to draw? I have Illustrator for Vectors and Photoshop CS5 for everything else. For some excellent suggestions to that end. Once you have the fundamentals down, you can work on cartooning, how to simplify what you are drawing into most basic shapes needed to convey the story. It sounds backwards, that realism is the first step to cartooning, but to quote my favorite art teacher, "You have to learn how to before you can learn what for." He was talking about fine art, but it totally applies to cartooning as well. In learning to draw realistically, you will learn to break the human form (or any form) into basic shapes. Cartooning is the exact same principle, but you take the shapes and you morph them into a pleasing form. (Or hideous, if that floats your boat.) An example: Andrew Loomis is an old drawing master many illustrators and cartoonists (especially comic artists) have learned from. This page from his book, "Figure Drawing For All it's Worth" shows this break down to shapes I was referring to. Here you can see the exact same method used for Tom and Jerry:This page, by the way, is from "Cartoon Animation" by Preston Blair. The short SHORT answer to this question would be, "buy Cartoon Animation by Preston Blair." It in no way has all the answers, but almost every cartoonist I know started with this book. It's like the quick and dirty cartoon method. Everyone learns to push things in their own way eventually. If you want to experiment with styles, try drawing a likeness of yourself in other people's styles. Draw yourself the way Charles Schultz might, or like Hank Ketcham or Bill Watterson, or Sailor Moon or anything, it doesn't matter, it's like writing in other author's voices. It opens you up to a different way of seeing things. I suggest drawing yourself in these styles as opposed to just copying they way they draw, because it forces you to make decisions about how to best represent the way they see things. Then you can do the opposite, Draw Charlie Brown or another iconic character the way you want to draw. It's an interesting exercise. This is just scratching the surface, it's a fun study though!
What is it called when someone draws your portrait into a cartoon?
They have these people standing outside of amusement parks and various other places but they draw your face and make it look cartooney. Do you know what these pictures are called?
I can draw disney, and cartoons etc but real people? Nope.?
I am willing to bet that if you can draw cartoons naturally, you could probably learn to draw other things. However, you should be happy that you can draw at all. I am an artist in many ways, but drawing is not one of them. Even being able to draw "just cartoons" is an awesome skill (assuming you can do it well). People have gotten famous and even rich off only cartoons...like the guy who made Dilbert or the creators of South Park/Family Guy/Insert crude cartoon here. You can enjoy something without being good at it, but if you love it then you will work hard to become the best you can be at it. Have you ever seen Sister Act 2? One of my favorite quotes from that movie: "If you wake up every day and all you can think about is writing, then you're (supposed to be) a writer". So...do you draw as a cheap pastime, or are you unable to go a day without drawing? If you just like the idea of creating images and designs or whatsoever, consider computer design. It is a much broader area of expertise that draws more heavily upon acquired knowledge and experience than artistic talent (not saying all computer designers have no talent).
I am trying to draw more realistically, but I draw cartoons with ease. How can I draw realistically when it's so hard for me?
I question your desire to draw realistically, but we’ll save that for later. To draw more realistically takes practice. Lots and lots of practice. For a start, though, study realistic art.Find a piece (such as this) and start breaking it down into different techniques and components. Then try your hand at replicating the techniques alone. We’ll use this example I found for a little practice.Let’s start by analyzing something about it. How about… the droplets. There’s tons of droplets all over this character’s face, so it’s a good thing to pull from this.Next, let’s see how the droplets are shaped. try sketching just the outlines of the droplets. Do a couple dozen of them just to get the hang of it. They’re oval-ish, but with some lopsided aspects. A whole bunch of different sizes, too.After that, move on to the shading. Sketch some entirely new droplets, using shadows and light to create shape in it. Remember, water is not opaque. It’s going to do some odd stuff to the light, casting shadows in a funny way. See how this artist has done that, and try it yourself.Got that? Okay. Sketch some more droplets, but this time, put something underneath it. A leaf, a piece of wood, some fruit… Whatever you want. Add details to the object beneath the droplets. Remember what I said before about water doing odd stuff to light? It’s the same for objects beneath. They’ll look different than they would without the droplets. Experiment, and look for more examples.That should be enough of a tutorial for now. Apply the same technique to learning other things such as hair, skin, fabric, textured surfaces… Once you’re comfortable with grey-scale, move on to color. You’ll have to study a lot more when you learn about color, but you should have a better foundation for starting that. A good example would be gold. It’s a lot more complex than one might think.If you don’t mind my asking… Why do you want to draw realistically? If you’re already good at cartoon drawings, why not stick with that?
What is the name of this cartoon dog?
Remember that cartoon dog that would eat a biscuit and say mm, mmm, mmm mmm, mmm as he was rubbing his stomach and hugging himself and going up in the air and then floating back down to the ground like a feather? I can't remember if it was Warner Brothers or Hanna Barbera or someone else. I think it was a yellow dog. It's been so long I can't remember. Thanks
I can't draw the same character twice. What do I do?
I'm starting work on an animated series (on YouTube, lol) with my friend, and I already have a set group of characters down which I want to further develop. For their look, the original sketches are the only thing I want to retain (except for their clothes, but whatever, you get the point). Now, once again, I'm hitting the same roadblock I've been hitting for years. I can't draw my characters the same way twice. Now, as you can imagine, this is a HUGE problem. My drawings are fairly simplistic. They're very cartoony, and consist of very basic shapes. I just can't get the size of the shapes and lines right. My curves are off, the details are scattered--I just find it harder to get the same general look. Anything I can practice to help my drawing hand connect more with my visual memory? Any exercises to improve aspect of my capabilities?
