When you are determining how to draw cartoons, you will want to consider several things about the character that you are drawing.
Is it a little bit of both?
How about a Cartoon Dog?
How to draw a cartoon dog can be broken down into very simple steps. After all, cartoons are unique because they are very simple, yet very expressive.
Step 1
Begin by breaking your cartoon dog down into his basic parts. Start by drawing a simple oval shape. This is the base of the head for your dog.
Step 2
Next, draw a second oval shape except this one is on its side. This will be your dog’s muzzle. Now you will draw a smaller oval within this one for the dog’s nose.
Step 3
Draw the eyes. The left eye needs to be a small circle with a smaller pupil circle inside it. The right eye should be a larger oval shape with a slightly larger pupil.
Step 4
Now you will want to add a simple mouth, tongue and a couple of teeth. Next, draw some floppy ears and you should have a fairly decent looking cartoon dog.
Step 5
Go back and erase any unnecessary lines that are apparent from your basic shapes. This allows you to make the cartoon dog look more realistic. You can also add in a little color to give some more personality.
I know that one thing we all want is for our
cartoon drawing to be made easy.
That way we can learn the right (and wrong) way right from the start.
Experiment with cartoons and enjoy the results!
