January 31st, 2010 by admin

Drawing cartoons is a popular way to begin learning how to draw. Especially when you are young, you want to be able to draw the kind of images that you are most familiar with, and so cartoons tend to be a common choice. Even adults who have chosen to explore drawing as a hobby, will often try drawing cartoons as a way to exercise their skills. There are many different reasons why they do so.

For adults, cartoons take them back to their childhood, when watching afterschool and Saturday morning cartoons was a big part of their lives. Being able to reproduce some of the more popular ones has a lot of nostalgia attached to it. For kids, it’s more of an immediacy thing. They are usually watching cartoons, reading comic books and playing with character related toys. For them to draw cartoons is just a natural action at that age.

One good thing about drawing cartoons as a beginner is that they tend to be very simple in shape and form. You usually only need to join together a few common shapes to get the main form of the character, and then it is just a matter of erasing the connecting lines and you will have the body of a famous cartoon character. All that is left is the detail. If you learn how to draw cartoons first, then drawing people and other more complicated objects will be much easier.

Probably the main reason why cartoon drawing is popular has to do with the connection they create with almost everyone. Someone who is good at drawing people may garner impressed comments from those around him or her, but if you want people to be excited about what you draw, then a cartoon will usually get a stronger reaction. Everyone knows certain cartoon characters, like Mickey Mouse, Spongebob, and so on. There is a universal connection that you can create by drawing a cartoon for someone else.

Drawing cartoons is a popular way for people to learn how to draw. They are composed of simple drawing techniques and will make those who look at your drawings be more interested in doing so. As much as we may respect someone who can draw a very realistic looking picture, someone who can draw cartoons is going to be the one who is more popular. If you’re not interested in popularity then this won’t matter, but if drawing is a simple hobby for you, learning how to draw cartoon characters could be a lot of fun.
