How to draw a cartoon character part 2

The next cartoon I will be drawing is Jerry from Tom and Jerry. What I am starting off with is his head. You first want to make a circle. Once you are done with the circle you want to draw a LIGHTLY curved line down and a curved line side ways. When you are done with that, right above the line that is going sideways you want to draw two arcs right next to each other. Those will be the outline of the eyes. When you are done with that you want to draw little arcs at the right bottom corner of the eyes, and shade that in. And those are the eyes. My next step will be in my next blog.

HOW TO DRAW A CARTOON CHARACTER

By. Alexandria West

Being a artist you have to learn a lot of designs. I haven't gotten cartoon characters down just yet. Have you thought about drawing a cartoon character? Like Tom and Jerry,  or Popeye? Have you ever wondered how the artist drew the character? I'm starting to learn how to draw the cartoons. I'm going to start off simple with drawing TOM AND JERRY. When you start to draw the cartoon you should consider looking at a picture of that character. First I'm going to draw Jerry. I feel like he's the easiest out of both. Drawing cartoons you have to start off with the outline. Take your time and kind of measure out the lines and where they should be. Once you get the outline, start with the eyes make the eye almost the same as the picture your looking at. Then start from the bottom of the eyes. Then start going down. Once you get done with all the details, look at the original picture then the drawing. If you think its off, correct it. Once you are done you can now color it if you want to. I shaded mine in.
