BODY BUILDING
Now that you’ve perfected the art of making your cartoon characters laugh, cry, and take a snooze, you can start designing the rest of the body. After all, your head needs a torso—not to mention arms, legs, feet, and hands! A good character drawing should look like a living, breathing person—not just a bunch of lines on a piece of paper. So take what you’ve learned about using basic shapes to build bodies and heads, and put them together to create the perfect cartoon character.
