How to Create Cartoon Faces
Cartoons are drawings of people or animals, real or fantasy that can be used to make several different pieces of art for different purposes. The main thing that people think of when they think cartoons are the Sunday "funnies" which use exaggerated facial expressions to the point of comedy. It is very simple to draw these types of characters because you can be very liberal in their creation, and there is pretty much nothing that you can do wrong.
