Everyone in this world adores cartoons. Even adults, although they sometimes hide it. But far from everyone knows how to draw a cartoon . This article will discuss some options for portraying the heroes of your favorite children's series.
Copying a picture through glass
The easiest way to image your favorite character is copying. And since it was possible to draw a cartoon even before the advent of printers and copy machines, it is worth devoting young artists to this.
It is very easy to transfer the outline of the drawing , if you first place a sheet with a sample on the glass, and on top of it - clean paper. Glass should be illuminated from the inside. Then on the sheet where you plan to portray your favorite hero, a copied drawing will be visible. Often, for these purposes, use an ordinary window in the daytime or a glass door to a lighted room.
Mesh Copy
Sometimes you can’t use this option. For example, a picture is in a book, where a picture is also printed on the other side of the page. Then to translate the circuit does not work. But how to draw a cartoon in this case?
An interesting way to copy using the grid will be a good way out of this situation. It will help to increase or decrease the scale of the picture. And since you sometimes need to draw a cartoon not only on paper, but, for example, on a plate or casket, in this case it is difficult to come up with a more convenient way.
You can line the sample with cells using a ruler and a pencil. True, then the picture may be spoiled. Therefore, it is recommended to make a patch mesh on a transparent material: cellophane or polyethylene.
The place where the artist wants to transfer the image of his beloved cartoon hero should also be lined into a cage. If the sizes of the squares from the sample are smaller than here, then the picture will turn out to be larger. Conversely, with a ratio of size ratios less than 1, the picture will decrease.
Each cell is redrawn separately, carefully making sure that all the dashes are exactly in place. The more accurately the master works, the greater the likeness with the original he will be able to achieve.
Master class for kids
And how little children like to draw their favorite characters! But the trouble is: they don’t know how to draw cartoons ... For beginning artists, you can offer the simplest master classes, thanks to which they will be able to easily cope with this task.

- Everything inside is removed with an eraser.
- Inside, a second circuit is drawn, which almost repeats the outside. An exception is the upper frontal part. It has the form of two connecting arcs.
- The eyes are depicted in two concentric circles - one in the other. Moreover, the inner one is black. It is also recommended to draw (or leave unpainted) inside the pupil a tiny white circle - a glare from the light.
- The ears also have the shape of a circle.
- A smile is drawn with an arc in the lower part of the face.
- The muzzle itself and the inside of the ears are painted over with light brown paint.
- Everything else should be dark brown.
