How to Draw Comic People

Video Transcript

"Hello there, I am Ralph Papa from papagallery.com, and today we are learning how to draw. In this clip I am going to show you how to draw comic people. I will start off with just an oval for a face, and then I am just going to draw a nose like that. We are going to make the eyebrows way up there so that he is sort of looking like an exclamation kind of look. And we will draw eyeballs off to our right, which is meaning he is looking towards his left. And we will give him a face like sort of a sneering smile like that, and we will put in a couple of teeth on the top like that. And we can even sort of make his tongue hanging out like that. We will throw some ears on him, and comic usually it's nice to just put big floppy ears on him, a chin like that, and then we can sort of give him a bushy, bushy hair like that. Accent those eyebrows nice and thick, and there we are. Now we are going to add a little more detail to this character. We will start off by putting some eyeglasses on him, and right at the top of the nose we will sort of put a little round clip like that, and then we will sort of focus those glasses just like that over the eyes. And in the frame of the glasses we will go right back to the back of the ear like that. We can sort of just put a couple of little lines like that to get a little reflection off the glasses, and now we will come down on his collar, and we will put a collar on him. And just bring it out here to the shoulders. We will go back and accent a little bit more of his hair coming down on the side, give him a little bit of sideburns, and we will sort of just go back and put a little shading in on that hair. We can also give a little light to the side of his face so that the light is coming from the left side, and darkening in the right side of his face like that. And there we have our first comic figure. This has been Ralph Papa, and thank you for watching."
