You too can Draw Cartoon When i was small, I was so much interested in Drawing. I use to feel amazed looking at the cartoons and sketches in news papers and magazines.  I use to feel so surprised, how people draw so nicely.  I use to ask myself, whether i can become an artist when I become big.  Those were past, today i can confidently say that i can draw, paint, and sketch. Do you have a doubt whether you can become a Cartoonist? If so let me ask you three questions.     * Can you draw a line?     * Can you draw a circle?     * Can you draw a curve? If the answer to these three questions is yes, then yes in future you can become a cartoonist. Rest all will come by practice. In the following courses, you will find lot of cartoons; try to practice every piece at least few times, so that you can get the fluency. You should also remember that, if you already have a particular style, don’t try to change it.  Continue in your style. Every individual have their own style of drawing. To learn any art you need time and patience and practice. If you are reading an Art Book please do not rush through the lessons, these lessons are going to remain there, and so do not rush through the lessons. Be patient; go through every lesson one by one.  You may tend to finish it at one stretch, because of your eagerness, however practice daily. Practicing daily for half an hour to one hour is better than practicing once a week for 6 hours. Keep your eyes and ears open.  If you are seriously thinking of becoming a great cartoonist in life, you should start seeing all sketches and drawings in magazines.  I do not remember how many number of cartoons and sketches i have drawn before came to this stage.  Today we have lot of cartoon channels, and we have opportunity of googling on internet where we can really find lot of stuffs.  You should also remember that cartooning is not merely drawing pictures in a funny way.  You should also start looking things in a funny way.  You should really visualize things in a much exaggerated manner. Start looking at things in a different way. Draw, enjoy have fun. Show your sketches, cartoons to your friends and family members. Show to your teachers; share your fun with others. Never ever get disheartened because of a critic from anyone.  You should also learn to take things in a very positive way.  Every criticism in Art should be taken in a constructive way.  You should try to improve, draw better, and better and best. By extensive practice, patience one day you too can become a famous cartoonist. Visit: freeartstutor.com
