How to Draw a Cartoon People - for Beginners

Caution: children should use child-safe art supplies. Learn how to draw a funny cartoon step by step. Follow my easy drawing tutorial as I demonstrate the tips and tricks that I use to create original characters. It begins by first establishing basic shapes for the head and body, followed by the details. However, it's important to keep it simple. That actually helps to give it style. And I'll add a goofy expression, to give the character personality. For this picture, I'll sketch with a pencil. Whether you like to draw cartoon characters in the style of the Regular Show, Disney, or anime, you'll enjoy these principles. Thanks for joining me, your cartooning sherpa, Christopher Hart. Now let's get started!

This video is less of a "how to" and more of a "watch me", I really didn't learn what I was hoping for. Good drawing and all.

First I want to thank you criss for this great tutorial, it is a wonderful experience to see a white sheet of paper turn into a story on which the viewer will embark on a beautiful journey, your work is an inspiration! Second, How are you doing these days?

[clintonwatkins]

Love the video. I liked the new approach to the "line of action." I'd never thought about starting the character first and then altering the line to suit. Thanks for the tip.

Hey chris, can you teach us how to draw western cartooning style

[erickhenriques]

Your videos made me fell in love with cartoon style, I'm an amateur at drawing that just draw for relax, but I always used to draw anime, but I used to love cartoons when I was a kid, and never thought about drawing cartoon, you makes me feel that I can do it, so I will start practicing til I be at least 50% as amazing as you.
A hug from Brazil!

I started watching your videos a couple days ago (it's Aug 2020) and they have inspired me to try my hand at drawing cartoons - I'm naff at drawing lots of things, but cartoons - I'm not too bad at (not as good as you)! Thanks for the inspiration!

congrats from Paris again!

Hey, QUESTION. I've probably watched more than 500 drawing videos and I suspect 99.95 % of those drawing in the videos are left handed. Why is that? Is that significant? Because I'm NOT left handed.
