Ultimate Cartoon Drawing: Create Your Own Character

Learn to draw cartoon hands fast by starting with simple geometric shapes, forming a square palm, equal-distance fingers, and a sausage-shaped thumb, then refine with organic lines.

Draw the mouth on your character from front to profile, align the hinge line with the top lip, and keep symmetry along the center dividing line.

Explore the three head rule to build cartoon proportions from head to feet, using eye lines, ear placement, nose, mouth, and hands, fingers, toes, and limbs sized consistently.

Break the hand into geometric shapes to understand its structure. Draw a palm rectangle with a sausage-shaped thumb and fingers in open, fist, and profile positions, with a downloadable resource.

Learn to construct a cartoon hand using four sausage-like fingers with dynamic bends, a side thumb, and an ellipse cuff, blending early Disney and Looney Tunes for fluid shapes.

Learn to draw cartoon male feet for your character using circles and a simple shoe with a cuff. Explore wedge shapes, rounded toes, heels, and optional soles.

Master pipe folds and five folds with a top support point, then explore spiral and zigzag folds to drape sleeves and banners, adapting detail for cartoon, anime, or realism.

Observe single and double half lock folds at elbows and knees; identify pinch points and support points from gravity; see how thin versus thick fabrics shape folds in cartoons.

Draw a cartoon character from the king of diamonds using the worksheet. Block in the head, crown, curls, and mustache with simple cylindrical shapes for a Tommy Tune-inspired figure.

Explore translating a card design into a simple cartoon king by mapping robes, contours, diamonds, circles, stripes, a belt, and zigzag folds, with practice using the workbook.

Learn to draw Super Mario using the three-heads-tall proportion from the Tommy tune model, including the big belly and gloved hands, with red prismacolor pencil for final lines.
