How to Draw Cartoons
(It's not as hard as you might think)

Beginning with a pencil, draw a circle. This will be the foundation for your cartoon face. (See? I told you this isn't hard!)
Draw a vertical line through the middle of the circle to split it in half.
Now, draw a horizontal line through the circle close to the bottom. This line is where you will place the character's eyes.
Now, give your cartoon some eyes (your cartoon needs to see, doesn't he??)  Next begin to fill in the character's jaw line.
Next, you can add some eyebrows, nose, mouth, and finally some ears
(I guess he needs to hear as well).
All the cartoon face needs now is some hair (you don't want him to be bald do you).
Finally, you need to get a black pen and ink over the pencil lines to complete the picture.
These are steps that I use when I draw, but you can create different eye, nose, ear, hair, and face shapes to create any character you can imagine. The only limit is your own imagination.
