"Let's move on to the fun stuff, drawing our characters. There are a couple of ways that you can draw your characters. The first way, which I'm demonstrating right now is purely from your brain. You're going to draw your characters free hand without any real reference, tracing, or anything like that. Basically how you draw your characters here is by looking at past drawings. If you even want to do that much. Sometimes people just let their hand do the talking, or the drawing should I say, and then leave it at that. This is of course, one option for your character drawing. Benefits are that it's really easy for you to basically draw whatever you want however you want. Your thought processes move very quickly. There's not a whole lot of time for thinking, which means there's not as many time for thinking about mistakes either. A lot of people have problems drawing cartoons than a lot of other things because they start worrying about things. Drawing in free hand means you're just letting your pencil glide over the page and you're not worrying about fitting any direct pattern."
