Cartoon Drawings

On this page, I have included some outlines for you to practice your cartoon drawings.

Cartoons are great fun to draw!

I have really enjoyed doing the sketches for this page.

There is such a freedom in doodling cartoons and even though I am not the best there is, I like my finished illustrations.

Cartoon Characters

Because people feature in many cartoons, I have done very basic outlines of a cartoon man and a cartoon woman for you.

Cartoonists don't draw things as they appear in real life.

They use less detail and exaggerate features.

Symbols are used to depict a character's mood, something like a dark cloud over a character's head would indicate a bad mood or despair.

Symbols change ordinary drawings into cool cartoon drawings!

And, of course, expressions play a large part indicating moods when drawing cartoons!

Comics

When I was young, I used to love comic books.

Actually, I used to copy the characters way back then and I thought I got a good likeness.

I am sure I learnt a lot from those comics but I mainly saw them as fun to read and look at.

I still read and look at the comics in the paper, just to get a laugh.

Here's a thumbs up for comics and cartoons!

Cartoon Styles

This old barn drawing was so easy to draw and it took no time at all. That shows the simplicity of cartoon drawings.

I was standing at the table when I drew this shed.

It makes me feel great to see drawings like this emerge from my pencil.

You can see other old barn drawings here.

Give it a go, I am sure you can produce some cool cartoon drawings.

Use your imagination and look around you for ideas on what to include when you are drawing cartoons.

Remember to exaggerate features, put in a few scribbly lines here and there, and you've done it!

There are more links to a variety of cartoon sketches to be found at the top right side of this page.
