How to draw a person in the style of cartoon. "Draw semi-realistic portraits"

I will try to express my thoughts accurately and just, despite the fact that I know about my stupid habit of explaining everything too in detail :)

So. These three who were ruthlessly chosen in order to become victims of my artistic abilities. I apologize in advance.

3 Golden Rules in Figure:

Find images of the one to redraw from different angles of shooting. Despite all that you might think, a person can change much depending on which corner you will look at it!
- Find distinctive features Your character! Eyes are always the most important part in determining the character, but also no less important nose, mouth, other facial features. Think: What makes your character so unique? Since you will simplify his face, it is very important to focus on who he or she really is.
- Compare with another character. For example, if you are not sure about drawing his / her eyes, try to compare it / her eyes with the eyes of another person! You believe me or not, but you immediately notice the differences and then work with the character will become even easier.

Killian Murphy / Robert Fisher ML.

Set of images. Collect photos from different perspectives.

And for God's sake, look for big photos. These images were taken as an example for a lesson, I can hardly discern his face in these pictures :)

Determine the features of the face!

Rest:

Light shadow under the eyes
-Had and eyebrows are closely planted
-Prenoscope is straight. Triangular.
-Adnutication

Make an outline
Not forgetting about everything that is described above, start drawing a sketch. Since this is not realism, do not be afraid to allocate or exaggerate some aspects. In this case, I made his eyes more, and cheekbones more pronounced.

Also: Do \u200b\u200bnot forget about emotions! The person of a person sets the initial perception of him by others. Fisher performed by Murphy looks serious, careful and perhaps even a little tired and concerned. In order for all this to convey, I a little bent his eyebrows, the line of the lips is uncertain, and the eyes look tired.

Lainart and Shady

It is very difficult for me to catch the desired expression of the face without applying shadows.

I use the shadows to make his eyes more expressive (make them out of them), highlight the cheekbones, hair movements, triangular nose, etc. Oh yeah, and his lips :)

I can say that the work is more or less finished. You always need to concentrate on my eyes, I don't even know how else to convey the importance of this XD I repeat that it is the eyes that determine a person, regardless of how well or poorly drawn the other features of the face. If you spoil your eyes, then you will spoil the entire portrait.

Benedict Cumberbatch / Sherlock Holmes

I have already described the process, so this time I will not go into detailed explanations, if only it is optional.

Collect photos.

Determine the features of the face

Rest:

Rounded nose
The wipe is enough curly
- It is essentially elongated and ejected

Make an outline

In a concrete case, Benedict as Sherlock looks confident, alarmed (mainly due to a tense look) and perhaps a little cynical. And therefore, if I paint it with a chunk smile - it will correspond to its character. Long lengthen the lines of the lip in order to highlight it!

Lainart and Shady

Something is wrong here, maybe I didn't have a bad eye.

Or this is due to the fact that I moved with the shadows and therefore it looks a little older than the usual XD

When I think about it, it begins to circumvent the meaning: Benedict has from nature with light skin. I'm not talking about what he is not so old. This means that the number and thickness of the lines must be minimized, or otherwise the excess of the shadows will create the impression of wrinkles.

Here I hurried a little, so it looks a little rude. Perhaps if I once again lookedched it, then the portrait would look better \u003d v \u003d

Simon Baker / Patrick Jane

Initially, this place was assigned to Laurie :), but I thought that I was drawing too many men with highly arranged cheekbones, not to mention the character of a house, which literally coincides with 99% with the character of Benedict\u003e _\u003e

So here is Simon Baker. I love his smile.

Collect photos.

Determine the features of the face

Rest:

When smiles, bags appear under the eyes
- painted hair (create a noticeable contrast)
- the hair on the back of the head always curl

Make an outline

Patrick performed by Baker is quite open, friendly, cheerful, and if proceeding from the fact that he is rather grinning than smiles, he looks ironic and cunning.

And if I make his smile sling slightly, it will only strengthen this effect.

Do not forget that he has a beard (at least draw it on the cheeks), even despite the fact that it is so bright that is practically not visible. If I am not a painful beard, then it will look too young.

Lainart and Shady

As a result, I did not draw a bristle over the lip. Everything looks beautiful, so I left the drawing as it is.

Also, since his smile is possible him business card, do not be afraid to try out the folds on the sides of the lips. This is such an outstanding feature of his face\u003e U
In general, it's all.

I said that I adore his smile?

Of course, if I had more time, I would have led more examples xD If you have any questions, then ask them and I will see how I can help you!

Oh and I apologize for not included in this lesson female portraits. Perhaps if one of you interests you, then I will tell you about them another time.

Thank you for reading! I hope it will help you!

The last remark for everyone, especially for those who draw anime style:

In general, those of you who want to learn to draw realism, you need to get rid of fear, which is that you are afraid of "mutilating characters." And I am sure that many of you understand what we are talking about, especially those who preferably draw anime style.

That is, regardless of how beautiful a man, he will never be perfect. I mean the fact that if you do not draw folds or wrinkles or something else, then he or she will look like a 10 year old :)

I know that sometimes it is very difficult to adapt, as it may look wrong if you add such natural details. But remember that everything is in practice. At first, I was the same as any of you, was too careful when it came to drawing real people. But as soon as I realized that Leonardo Dicaprio looked as if he was unsuccessfully operated on with a plastic surgeon somewhere in Korea because I neglected a shadow under his bottom lip ... Well, I finally realized.

The old saying never comes out of fashion: Master's business is afraid.

So while you are able to recognize that not everyone looks like a Sephirot or Claud (approx. Characters game Final Fantasy), then you can adequately draw \u003d V \u003d

And you know what? I think in impact, so I'll put my thoughts slightly below:

Make a mistake, looking at human face And assuming that this is a frequently drawn standard oval face.

"But but also ... it will look pretty strange if I paint it as it really is. I mean that if I paint a very oblong face or pronounced cheekbones or ..."

Perhaps, if you present Benedict Cumberbet with such a standardized person, as shown above, then you will understand what is really wrong with him. It will look like a teenager!

"I can't draw a nose what he is in reality! It prevents me from adding a hubber / nostrils and the nose is ugly and very unlike what I have been drawn."

Surely most people agree with me that the nose is the most difficult part in realistic drawing And even I do not know how to draw it well enough. If you do not control the power of push to the handle, it usually concerns the wings of the nose, then in the end you will have a very strange nose. Again, usual: Practice, practice and once again practice!

If you want, you can start with copying my way of image of noses in which you shaper the dark area under your nose. In this case, no need to draw wings. It will only work for semi-realistic drawings. Of course, it is always better to find your own way Images of realism, but never completely avoid them!

Children are the main audience of viewing a variety of cartoons. A good cartoonist is the one who can extract the main features of an object or person, simplify them to attract the attention of the child. Masters such as Walt Disney, Hannah and Barber, Chuck Jones, Jim Henson, Walter Lantz and many others, studying the children's opinion and perception, achieved the charm of the whole world with their magical and eternal characters. In this lesson, we will consider how easily and correctly draw cartoon characters, from which children and adults will be delighted.

The final version will look like this:

Details of the lesson:

  • Complexity:Average
  • The estimated time of execution:2 hours

Understanding human perception

A person is a creature that has a very interesting feature - We can convert details that form a very complex structure or object, in a rather simple view.

Can you say that two images below are the same object?

It may seem strange what you can look at the image and say that this is a car.

What happens to most people, except for artists who can not get out of memory all parts of the car, kind of dog or face feature? They begin to associate very simple and primitive forms with the specific features of each object. So, for example, how many children came from school with a similar piece of paper in his hand and said "This is a mother and dad!"?

You do not want to draw so much, is it not true? If you do not want, let's take a pencil in the hands and start drawing!

1. Creating a first character

The main form of the cartoon form will be a circle. Circle is all you need. From the circle you can define the basic proportions of the character's head.

Swipe vertical and horizontal lines that intersect in the center of the circle, as in the picture below:

Step 1

Draw an oval eye with a slight inclination around. Necessaryleave the gap between the eyes of about the same size as the eye.

Step 2.

In the top of the eye of the eye, we slightly denote the eyelashes of the character. Placing above eyelasheseyebrows that convey a kind of surprise. Paint such an eyebrow form that turns out in the future you will adapt to your own style.

Draw pupils so that they are reduced to the center (this is a very effective tactic that is used by caricaturists in order to make characters prettier).

Tip: To give more Life Eyes can draw a small line under them to imitate wrinkles.This is another very interesting tactic that gives a special flavor of the facial character.

Step 3.

Now all interesting moment lesson. It is at this stage that we will define what our character will be: lean, fat, young, old. Character we will have a young.

Draw the jaw:

Step 4.

The nose will be from the front. To not use a lot of details, draw it in general features. Quite often drawn nose in detailon the one hand, the face due to the fact that the light falls only on the one hand.

Step 5.

Our character is a child. Making your mouth is something simple and with an expression of innocence.

Note that in the cartoon style children, regardless of gender, have pretty simple shape Mouth without lips.

Step 6.

The form of the ears is quite simple.

Step 7.

Dorify the boys with a haircut.

I do not know how to draw hair. Help!

In order to draw perfect hair, you do not need to be a designer or stylist. Not proper method draw hair, so you should try until it turns out exactly for this case. Just remember that the hair can be transferred to certain personal qualities Character. Oddly enough, hair can express age, riot, conservatism. Incredible, yes? And what is your hairstyle?

I. fast way Hair drawing for cartoons is to find the appropriate photo on the Internet! After you found the perfect style, place the image as an example next to the tablet or sheet of paper and start developing its simplified version.

The first character is completed successfully! Congratulations!

Now let's work on a different character using the same pattern as for the boy.

2. Creating a senior character

Step 1

Let's start with eyes. This time we will draw faster, adding wrinkles, eyebrows and pupils of the eyes. Please note that we have not changed much, but just slightly expanded your eyebrows. Older people have thicker eyebrows that occupy more space on the forehead. Eyelashes draw in the same way as in the previous version.

Step 2.

The chin will be slightly increased than the previous character.

Step 3.

Create a nose. The form is completely different. Please pay attention to the fact that the nostrils are very close to the lower eye. The idea is to get a good result, a little exaggerating part of the body.

Step 4.

Instead of mouth, draw big mustache.

Step 5.

Add the same ears as the boy. However, the hair will be another form - add a little on the sides, and leave the eye from above.

Our character looks like a crazy scientist.

3. Creating a female character

Create a sister for the boy:

How did it happen so fast? Very simple... In women, a thinner structure of the face. Consider some features:

  • thin eyebrows;
  • larger and expressive eyelashes;
  • thinned chin;
  • little nose with fewer parts;
  • long hair.

That's all! As soon as you begin to feel more confident, you can draw some more characters with different details.

4. Mimica

Let's draw a girl after receiving the news that school break Came to an end.

Now let's go back to the boy and ask his opinion on this:

Such a feeling that he conceived something!

Pay attention to the changes in the face of the boy:

  • one eyebrow is lower than another;
  • semi-closed eyes;
  • a smile has been added (one side above another, in accordance with eyebrows);
  • pupils moved under the eyelashes.

And all! All easier than simple!

5. Draw in profile

Draw two circles.

We will create a boy and a girl in profile:

The ear remained in the center of the circle.

Pay attention to these details when male and female characters are drawn up:

  • the boy has eyebrows thicker;
  • the chin of the girl is slightly advanced;
  • nose girl thinner and sharper;
  • the boy has no eyelashes when the girls are big and thick.

6. Game with angles

Eyes, nose, mouth, ears - all these details make your face change your form if you look at them from different angles. Behind this, it is very often possible to watch the characters of cartoons.

Please note how real eyes are simplified when converting to cartoon.

The real form of the nose consists of several cartilage. Its form is radically simplified in the cartoon.

Understanding how the mouth behaves at different angles has important. Delete extra details and try to save only the basic shape of the lips. Ears are also greatly simplified.

Now we will implement everything that we learned. Below are circles with arrows, which show the direction of the view. We can practice your drawing skills in various positions:

Note the eye for each of the circles:

Now add different shapes of the jaw:

You can independently finish the drawings based on those knowledge that you have been granted in this lesson. Remember:

  • the face must be simplified and give rounded forms;
  • exaggerate some parts of the person and its expression.

Once you managed to outline the direction of the eyes and choose the appropriate chin, try using your creative potential And finish the drawing. If you draw at least 10 minutes a day by the rules that are presented here, then you can draw multiplication faces as simple as breathing.

Let's summarize the drawing of characters:

  1. Draw a circle for the skull;
  2. We establish the direction in which the character will watch;
  3. We make the outline of the eye of oval shape;
  4. Draw the pupils of the eyes who look at the nose if you want to create a cute character. Do not forget the eyelashes;
  5. We choose the right eyebrows depending on age and gender;
  6. Create appropriate jaws;
  7. Add simple ears without unnecessary parts;
  8. We are looking for the necessary hairstyle in Google and use it in your sketch;
  9. Celebrate!

That's what happened:

An example of how to use the same pattern to create various emotions. Note that only eyelashes and eyebrows were changed. Nothing more!

7. Study of nationalities

We are approaching the end of the lesson. I would like to encourage you to continue experimenting with faith and, if possible, to explore the face more. Find out how the eyes and mouth behave in various situations. Take a look different nationality And learn their key features.

For example, African Americans have a slightly flattened nose and more rounded cheekbones.

Whenever it is possible, try to draw your characters more realistic. Watch for the behavior of people in real life. Look at the photos, study the style of your favorite artist or look for inspiration on the Internet. TOwhen we appeal to real life, we can extract high-quality information for our sketches.But remember: observations of the real world does not mean copying it!You want your character to be unique, not a copy of real, right?

Great job!

Now you know the basic methods that are used by the best multipliers worldwide. Good luck!

We hope you liked the lesson.

Explore other methods of drawing the head of cartoon characters.

The limit can only be the sky!

Translation - duty.

The main audience is children when we are talking About caricature. A good cartoonist is the one who can highlight the main details of the object or person and simplify the figure so that the child can recognize and be attracted to what they are browsing.

Your role here is what you understand how to properly collect this puzzle and definitely learn how to build any drawing on this technique. I guarantee you will be shocked how easy it is to create cartoon charactersthat children (and adults) will love!

General information about human perception

A creature person has a very interesting feature: we can synthesize the parts that make up the design or object in very complex relationships In the most basic and simple. Thus, we can represent any type of things through several curves and geometric figures.

Can you tell me if two images below represent the same object?

Strange, as it may seem, you can look at two photos and say: "This car".

It happens that, in contrast to artists, most people cannot say all the details that make up a car, a dog or even a child. Therefore, they begin to associate basic and primitive forms for specific characteristics of each object. How many children 4, 5 or 6 years have come from school with the application of two circles and some sticks on a piece of paper and said: "Here is my mother and dad!"?

1. Create our first character

The main form of caricature is a circle. Circle All you need (in addition to love, of course). This is from the Circle, which is indicated by the basic proportions of the character's head.

After the circle is ready, it's time to trace the face axis. Spend a vertical and horizontal line intersecting in the center, as in the picture below:

STEP 1.

For chapter, the oval shape with a slight slope to the side at the top. Repeat on the opposite side. It is important to leave a gap between them approximately the same size as the eyes. Since we are in the editorial phase, you can make another eye in the center to serve as a measure.

STEP 2.

At the top of the circle, slightly thicken the line, which will be eyelashes from our character. Place your eyebrows a little higher eyelashes to spend a kind of surprise expression. The form of eyebrows is free and over time you will adapt to your own style.

Draw your eyes to the center (this is a very efficient tactic is used by the largest multipliers, the sole purpose Which is that our characters look prettier).

Tip: To give more life and "realism" in our eyes you can draw a small line under them to imitate the type of wrinkle. This is another very interesting tactic that gives a special flavor to our facial expressions.

Step 3.

We approached the most creative freedom of the whole. Think about it like this: in the designs of the cartoon style, the basic structure of the face is the skull and the eyes of the character. It is at this stage where you will determine the identification with the outside world, IE, is already clear to people that you draw a character.

Now that we approach the jaw, we will decide what time we need. Maybe old man, young and so on. My character will be young. So let's develop an adequate jaw for him.

Step 4.

When designing the nose, we consider from the front, it is common to not use a lot of details. If you draw only its tip, it is likely that it already reaches a convincing effect. This method is also very common in detail to draw only one side of the nose, from the idea that this is the opposite side of the world.

Let's draw the right nose to our character.

STEP 5.

Since our character is a child, we will make a cartoon mouth: something simple just to represent the expression of innocence.

Note that when drawing up mouth little child, lips should not be made! In the cartoon style, children, regardless of the floor, have pretty simple mouth. A good and expressive track is already doing your job.

STEP 6.

The ears can be seen from the facial side of the side (because our hero stands in front of the camera), so the internal cavities will not appear. Then we will only make a simple form with some basic points of view (more about this later).

STEP 7.

The form of our skull is already determined by the circumference of which we did at the beginning, right? So, we need a very simple and children's haircut to give the life of our boy. Let's do it now.

I do not know how to draw hair! Help!

No one needs to be a stylist or fashion designer to make perfect hair. There is not the right way to draw hair, so you have to try until you create the perfect haircut you want. Just remember that the hair is responsible for determining the identity of our heroes. Oddly enough, the hair can express age, conservatism ..., by the way ... how are you hairstyle?! Oh, do not mind

The exact fast and easy way to draw cartoon hairstyles is to search for photos online! I do it all the time: Take a fashion magazine or look in Google. After finding the perfect style, put the image as an example next to the drawing board and start making a cartoon and simplified version.

Well, it seems we finished our character successfully! Congratulations!

Children are the main audience when it comes to cartoons. A good multiplier is the only one who can extract the main details of the object, or a person, and simplify them to such an extent that the child can realize and imbued with what he is watching children's perception studied and such masters like Walt Disney, Hannah and Barber, Chuck Jones , Jim Henson, Walter Lantz and many others who could charm us magic characters.

My task is to help you find the right path, folded the puzzle and learn how to create any character using the presented technique. I guarantee that you will be shocked - how easy it is to create multi emotions that children (and adults) will love.

Understanding human perception

A person has a very interesting feature: it can generalize the details of a very complex object in something simple and understandable. Thus, a person can present any thing through several geometric shapes and curves.

Can you tell me that the same object is depicted on these two pictures?



And let it be strange, but you watched on both these pictures say - "This car".

In fact, unlike artists, most people cannot call all the details that make up a car, a dog or even a child. Therefore, they begin to bind very simple and primitive forms with the specific characteristics of each object. How many children 4, 5 or 6 years of age come from school with the drawings, which show two circles and several toothpicks, and say: "This is a mother and dad!"?


You probably do not want to draw so much, isn't it? So let's a little staining your hands and draw a few cartoon faces!

1. Creating a first character

The main cartoon form is a circle. The circle is all you need (in addition to love, of course). It is from the circle that you determine the main proportions of your character's head.



After drawing a circle, it is necessary to outline the axis of the face. Draw a vertical and horizontal line intersecting in the center, as shown in the image below:


Step 1

To make an eye, draw oval with a slight slope to the side upstairs. Repeat on the opposite side. It is important to leave the gap between them about the same size as one eye. Since we do sketches, it is possible to draw another eye in the center for the accuracy of the construction.


Step 2.

Top of the circle make fatty, it is an eyelashes of our character. Place your eyebrows slightly higher than the eyelashes so that the facial expression is surprised. The form of eyebrows is arbitrary, and with practice you will come to your own style.

Draw both pupils closer to the center (this is a very effective technique used by the main multipliers that they want their characters to look nice).



Tip: To add more life and "realism" eyes, draw a small line under them, something like wrinkles. This is another very interesting receptionwhich will add a special highlight of facial expressions.


Step 3.

We got to the most creative part of our course. Think about it like this: in the cartoon sketches, the main structure of the face is the skull and the eye of the character. It is at this stage that you determine features. People are already clear that you draw a hero.

Now, when we approach the drawing of the jaw, we need to determine whether the character will be thin or thick. Do we want to create it young, old and so on? My character will be young. Let's draw it a suitable jaw.


Step 4.

When we draw a nose with the front side, it is important not to add too much details. If you draw only a tip, the nose is already starting to look convincing. Also very often, only one side of the nose is drawn in detail, based on the idea that this is the shadow side.

Let's draw our character the right nose.


Step 5.

Since our character is a child, we draw a cartoon mouth: something simple to convey the expression of innocence.

Please note that when drawing the mouth of a small child, you do not need to draw lips! In cartoons in children of both sexes are pretty simple mouth. A fairly good expressive feature.


Step 6.

The ears are visible from the front side (since our character looks into the chamber), so we will not depict the inner cavities. We draw a simple form using the basic perspective (more about this later).


Step 7.

The form of our skull is already determined by the circle that we painted at the beginning, right? Now we need to draw a very simple childish hairstyle so that our boy will come to life. Let's do it.


I do not know how to draw your hair! Help!

Calm! There is nothing to fear. Not necessarily be a stylist or fashionable designerTo draw perfect hair. There is no correct way to draw hair, so try until you reach the perfect option for you. Just remember that the hair reflects the individuality of our characters. Oddly enough, the hair can express age, the riot, conservatism ... incredible, isn't it? By the way, what is your hairstyle?! Okay it does not matter..

Accurate and fast way to draw cartoon hair - this is searching for links to photos on the Internet! Do it all the time: leaf fashion magazines or look for Google. Finding the perfect style, take the image as a basis by placing it next to the drawing board (or tablet), and start drawing a cartoon and its simplified version.

Looks like we successfully finished drawing our character. Congratulations!

Now let's play a little more and draw a completely different character on the same template that we used to create a small volume (yes, I gave him a name).

2. Creating an elderly character

Step 1

As usual, let's start with the eye. This time we will draw faster, adding wrinkles, eyebrows and pupils.

Please note that we have changed not very much - just expanded your eyebrows. In the elderly, eyebrows thicker and occupy more space on the forehead. Eyelashes for men do not matter, they are always drawn equally.


Step 2.

This time a little lengthen chin. Try to do it.

Our character already looks different! Excellent. Let's try to pick him up the perfect nose.


Step 3.

Following what we did before, let's create a nose. This time I paint it completely differently:

Please note that the tips of the nose are located very close to the corners of the eyes. This is an effective reception to create wider and large nose. The idea is to exaggerate the features to get good result!



Speaking of exaggeration, we will not draw our character's mouth in favor of another object.

Step 4.

In this case, I decided to use another technique: instead of drawing the mouth - draw big mustache for creating best image Our character.

Ready! Large expressive mustache for an old buddy.


Step 5.

Remember, I said that the hair helps determine the age and identity of the character? Take a look.

We added hair on the sides and left Lysin on the top of the top. Surprisingly, as the appearance immediately transformed, isn't it? Please note that I drew the same ears as Tommy, our favorite boy. In this advantage of working with templates. This is the magic of cartoons!


I think our new friend - Crazy scientist!

3. Creating a female character

I do not even know .. I think Tommy needs a sister! He is so lonely. As a magic, we will create him sister:



Hey! How did you manage to do it so fast? Very simple .. Women have a more sophisticated structure of the face. Follow the step-by-step instructions:

  • Thin eyebrows;
  • Longer and expressive eyelashes;
  • Neat chin;
  • Little nose with fewer parts;
  • Long hair (Draw based on the real image, and using any style as you want).

That's all. These are all the changes you need to produce. In addition to them, I used all the same details as when painting Tommy, her brother. In the end, they are brother and sister, right?

When you feel more confident, you can gradually add more "realistic" details to your characters. Such as pupils bigger size..


4. Facial search

We are ready to add emotions to our expensive Lucy (yes, this is her name). Let's draw it after she learned that the school holidays came to the end ..



And again we create something completely different, just adding two elements: tears and new form Mouth! Amazing, isn't it?

Now let's go back to Tommy and ask what he thinks about this:


Hmm .. I have a suspicion that Tommy conceived something!

Please note that I completely changed its facial expression following the following rules:

  • Made one eyebrow below another;
  • Half covered his eyes with eyelashes;
  • Added a smile (one corner of the mouth above - follows after eyebrow);
  • Raised pupils, leaving them with covered eyelashes.

That's all! We got desired resultBy all the changes. Hair, ears, nose, chin and rounded eye shape remained unchanged! How easy!

5. Side view

Refer the template again. Now we will learn to draw Tommy and Lucy to the profile:



Draw both faces:


Please note that the ear profile is located in the center of the circle.

Remember the main differences in the structure of persons when comparing them nearby. Pay attention to these details when you draw female and male characters:

  • Brewing Tommy Willow
  • Lucy's chin slightly issued forward
  • Lucy's nose is thinner and more pointed;
  • Lucy has long feminine eyelashes.

6. Play with angles

Eyes, nose, mouth, ears .. All details of the person change the form when the angle is changed. Cartoon characters constantly watch everything possible directions From different angles, since they need to react to situations and objects around them. It makes them more realistic!


Please note that the text structure is simplified in the cartoons. In red painted cartoon eyes. Compare their oval shape with rounded form Present eye.
This nose consists of several cartilage. Please note how important it is simplified in cartoons.
It is necessary to understand how the mouth behaves with different angles. Delete extra details and try to save only the basic shape of the lips. Ears are also greatly simplified.

Now we will practice drawing all the details that we studied. Below is a basic template (only circles and guide guides), where we can learn to draw different positions:



We note the eyes looking into different areas, on each of the circles



Now add random jaws different sizes and forms



The choice is yours. I suppose you can work independently and explore the techniques that I gave you to complete the picture. Remember two major animation rules:

  • Simplify the details of the person with the help of rounded shapes;
  • Making expressions of people exaggerated.

As soon as you learn how to make an outline of eye directions and choose suitable chins, try using your creativity and draw so many persons as you like. You can be sure - the practice of the above technician for at least 10 minutes will make the drawing of cartoons in the same familiar occupation as a breath.

Let's summarize! To secure the material of this tutorial, let's remember right steps In drawing cartoon individuals:

  1. Draw a circle that will be a skull of a character;
  2. Determine the direction where the character will watch and read the guide lines;
  3. Make an outline of an oval eye;
  4. Draw pupils (closer them to the nose, if you want to create a cute character). Do not forget about eyelashes;
  5. Choose the right eyebrows, depending on the age and the floor of the character;
  6. Draw a suitable jaw;
  7. Draw simplified ears;
  8. Search for hairstyle in Google (or magazine) and use them as sketch patterns;
  9. Celebrate!

My version:




An example of how to use one template for drawing different emotions. Please note that only eyelashes and eyebrows have been changed. And nothing more!!!

7. Learn different ethnic groups
