Draw Simple Comic Characters
Thinking of comic characters is really difficult if you're the type who just wants to draw. But don't worry, because you don't have to make the most detailed comic character ever, you can just do it in a simple way that people can like! It can be as simple as a humans head - in a spiders body! Or maybe a random character who that always has his face blocked by something! You just have to let your imagination run wild, and come up with the strangest or coolest characters.
Steps
- Sketch a circle for the head.
- Then, draw an oblong attached to it.
- Sketch a vertical oblong for the body.
- Sketch the extremities and the neck as lines showing the cartoon character’s position.
- Sketch 4 lines in the face as guidelines for the eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Draw the cheeks.
- Draw the eyes, mouth, and ears. Experiment on the expressions shown through these facial parts.
- Draw the hair as you like. You can also experiment on this.
- Then draw the body and the clothes that you like the character to have.
- Erase the draft lines.
- Color.
Tips
- Did you see how the feet was drawn? It's not like the way kids draw it, side on! It's drawn at an angle for you to see and know that it points towards you, keep note of that when drawing characters.
- Now that you know how to draw a simple character, make different features so that it's a different character, so for example: one with a really wide brim hat, maybe a dress with two yellow flowers on the side - or maybe one with black sunglasses, a beard and a mohawk.
Warnings
- Okay, just make sure you don't try to make this stuff your own, like you started all this, because it takes money to copyright something, so to be on the safe side, just share it.
