How to Draw Cartoon Bodies

Drawing Cartoon Bodies

In this video of TVLesson Paul Louis talks demonstrates how to draw cartoon bodies.

For those who rather read than watch, I've done a short summary for you, explaining Paul's' techniques on drawing cartoon bodies.

To draw the body we will need a nice round shape for the upper part of the body.

Next a half circle below it to form our belly.

After that lets add in some details, for the details Paul used a small half circle place on the upper right for pockets and used some simple "I" shapes as buttons.

Then he added two triangles around the neck to form the colar. After that we can draw a simple tie.

Shade the tie and that's how we draw a cartoon body.

Just remember when it comes to cartoon, less detail is more, and the more over the top and exaggerated the features the better.

Watch out for our own cartoon series miniBobs, just got the initial designs. Maybe i'll stick em up later. Stay tuned, and feel free to comment. Till next time.
