Start by drawing a simple geometric shape for the head, then put it on another shape for a body. Simple shape cartoon ideasĪnother way to create cartoons is to use simple shapes. Can you see a character in the shapes? Turn it around and look at it from different directions. Try using some paint blobs and looking into them to see what you can make. These aren’t cartoons that Tara would normally develop further, but they can look pretty cool. Imagine who that character might be as you continue drawing.
#Cartoon characters to draw full#
You don’t have full control of the pen because you are holding it so loosely, so it might create a shape that looks like a nose, or maybe something that could be a hat. Let it loosely wave around on the paper in a face shape, without forcing the shape. Take a pen and hold it really loosely at the end. These cartoons were part of Tara’s 100-day project art challenge that she did a few years ago.Ī theme-based cartoon is usually one that you can continue and do multiple cartoons for, like Felicity Fizz.
A ‘Mindfoolness’ cartoon based around a meditation and mindfulness theme.Kids cartoon characters based around a weather theme, which have adventures.Tara has used different themes for her cartoons too:
She’s taken the theme of a young irresponsible woman and built a cartoon character around it. Sandra has used a theme to create Felicity Fizz. Alternatively, you can use the collage itself and paint or draw on it. Just stick the bits together and then create your cartoon from that. Then find something else that could be the arms. You might try using the teapot as the head and it could have the trousers on. You might have a pair of trousers from one cutting and a teapot from another. Create cartoons inspired by cut up magazinesĪnother thing you can also do is to cut up bits of magazines, then see how you can put those bits together. I’m not trying to make a cup cartoon, I’m just using that as the shape to become the nose of a character. I could look at my cup, and think, how can I use the handle shape, maybe that becomes a nose. For example, you can stick features on a cup to make a cartoon cup.Īnother thing you can do is to use the shapes of things to inspire you. The really obvious thing to do is to take something and stick eyes, legs and arms on it. So for example, you look at different household objects. So if you haven’t got an idea for a cartoon, you can come up with them just by looking at different things. Felicity Fizz cartoon is inspired by an amusing little story that Sandra’s Dad told her about an incident involving her Mum, and a bottle of elderflower wine, which apparently led to Sandra’s existence. Just to explain, Felicity Fizz is a cartoon character that Sandra created, who now has her own Instagram Page.

Tara also creates cartoons and has some different techniques for coming up with cartoon ideas. How did you create and develop your Felicity Fizz cartoon? How do you come up with your cartoon ideas? How do you sketch her up? Do you create her as a digital cartoon or create her by hand? What art materials do you use to create her? The cartoon theme stems from a message from Penny Henrickson which said, Sandra Busby, I would love for you to talk about your comic cartoon process.
