This site is designed to teach anyone how to create and draw cartoon characters,
and it's a fact that with some basic techniques using a small number of shapes
(which you can already draw) and lots of practice, you can devise and draw cartoons
worthy of reprinting in newspapers and other publications.
This site is primarily aimed at anyone who believes that he or she "cannot"
draw, and in particular cannot draw cartoons. As a self-taught professional artist,
for many years I believed that despite having some artistic talent I could not
make a living from my hobby, but I can tell you now that if you want to learn
how to draw cartoons you can.
A number of years ago painting was the form of art I wished to pursue, but felt
I did not have the artistic ability after a few poor initial attempts. However,
I soon realised that rather than requiring breathtaking artistic talent, a good
painting simply required a basic understanding and application of some simple
rules, followed by a reasonable amount of practice. Drawing cartoons is no different,
in particular drawing cartoon people, whether adults or children.
