How to Draw an Easy Cartoon

Step 1.


Always start with simple shapes. For the girl begin with a circle for her head and for the pig a couple overlapping circles for the bulk of his body. Her body will be a bent rectangle smaller at the top and longer at the bottom.

Step 2.


Continue to add basic shapes at this step. Keep things geometric early on. At this step add an oval to the pig's face. This will become his snout. Long rectangles will be used for the girl's legs and arms. You can practice moving these around for var   

Step 3.


Now its time to add some curved line. Go ahead and round off some of those sharp angles. At this stage go ahead and add fingertips. Often, cartoons vary in the number of fingers characters have. At this stage draw two lines from the center of your c

Step 8.


There are some good things to keep in mind when doing this or any cartoon project. One of the most important features of your character will be the face. Typically the eyes are always set about halfway down the face. If you were to divide that half o
