How to Draw a Cartoon Girl

Series Summary

Drawing is a visual art which makes use of any number of drawing instruments to mark a two-dimensional medium. Common instruments include graphite pencils, pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoals, chalk, pastels, markers, stylus, and various metals. A cartoonist, however, is someone that specializes in drawing cartoons. A cartoonist traditionally sketches the picture out roughly in pencil before going over the sketches in black ink.
