The basic cartoon character is made up of basic shapes. These are THREE-DIMENSIONAL shapes, not two.

So begin by practicing some simple 3-D shapes: 1. Practice drawing a box, a sphere, and a cylinder like the ones pictured above.

Keep practicing until you feel comfortable drawing in three-dimensions. Once you feel comfortable drawing these shapes, begin experimenting with them. Stretch them. Western Front 1914 Game. Hint: Be confident.

Keep your pencil strokes loose and keeps your hands moving fast. Continue drawing lines on top of each other until you draw one you're happy with and try to stay away from the eraser! Now that you know how to manipulate simple shapes, you can begin to combine them to make more complex shapes. Place a cube on top of a sphere and smooth out the lines connecting the two shapes.

You now have one shape that should resemble a flour sack. - The flour sack shape is one of the most important shapes to master in order to draw a basic cartoon character. But you'll learn more about that in step number four. Animate the flour sack by slightly manipulating the simple shapes that make up the sack.

The fingers (I only draw three) need to extend out from the top of the block. • The cartoon foot can be thought of as two simple shapes, a box and a cone as the toes. It is helpful to think of a cartoon head as consisting of two basic shapes: 1. Draw a sphere on top of the previously drawn neck. Add a second sphere to the bottom part of the first sphere.

This is shown in the first image. Now that you know how to make the basic shape of the head, you can add details such as eyes, a mouth, a nose, and ears. Let's start with the eyes. Choose which way the character is going to be looking and lightly pencil in an oval over the sphere facing that direction (refer to the second image).
