How to Combine Elements in a Cartoon Drawing

Video Transcript

"We're cartooning. Now that I've taught you how to draw a face, a character, props, background, word balloon, and everything you need to know, we're going to wrap it up and draw a single pictured story. We're going to start with the character. I'm going to draw those little eyes, a little smile. He's got his little hair going on. Let's say if you were drawing a prop. I'm a broomstick. A broomstick by itself isn't much, but if you've got a character riding on top of that broomstick, we have a better idea of what kind of character that would be. Immediately, you would think hey it's a witch. You add the hat and that kind of seals the deal. For this particular character, if I were to draw some eyeglass frames and a little jagged scar on the top and maybe a nice scarf blowing in the wind. We'll have his hand coming down. He's waving and he's even saying I'm a wizard. I don't need to tell you who that is. I don't think I need to tell you. He's outside. There's a nice moon in the sky. He is high above the hill soaring. We're going to add our action lines. To show where exactly he is soaring above, I'm going to draw a little castle. It's a little portion of a castle anyway. We've got a wizard flying high above the world doing what he wants to do, and that's exactly what you should do when you cartoon. There are no wrong answers when it come to drawing. It all comes from your imagination and how you think something should look."
