ART IN THE MAKING

CARTOONING

You will need:

soft drawing pencils (2B), eraser, sketch pad/drawing paper and colouring material e.g. pencils/magic pens, etc. (optional)

Step 1: Draw Faces

Step 2 Looking Around

Step 3: Drawing Cartoons

Let's add some bodies to our cartoon faces using stick figures.

Step 4: Gotta Move!

Make your cartoon people move - walk, run, jump, fall and so on.

Step 5: Strip Cartoons

Ready to be cartoonists? Let's do a strip cartoon! A strip cartoon is a joke told in more than one frame. The joke can be a short story with a punch-line. You may find it hard to make your characters look the same in each frame. So start with only one or two characters and give them simple features.

Step 6

Next, you can collect your favourite jokes and riddles or stories and use them as a source for more strip cartoons. Share this hobby with your friends and all of you can bind your very own book of cartoons!
