How to Draw a 3D Cartoon Picture

Video Transcript

"How to draw cartoons in three dimensions. Now the first thing to remember is you are probably going to make a lot of mistakes in the beginning so just keep doing it and doing it and you will just get better. That is how I learned. That is how everybody learned. If you are unsure how something looks three dimensionally the best way is to actually look at that object for real and copy the lines you see in room or wherever the object is. But we will start with her is your basic square. And to make it 3D if this is the front of the square we draw diagonal lines. You are going to be doing a lot of diagonals to make things look 3D. Take three of the corners make diagonal lines go off. And then make the parallel lines and there is our 3D square. You can take any object no matter what it looks like and pick your slant, take a corner and slant out. Every corner has to have a line slanting out from it and the lines should be at the same angle of diagonal. Now see this one I can't slant out cause it would come into the object. So those corners I am not going to touch. And I make the parallel lines and there I have a 3D hexagram. Same you could do a triangle. Notice I don't take that corner. Only the corners that allow me to move away from the object I will use those lines to draw those. "
