Cartoons Are Wonderful


Just finished this today! Took me about 45 minutes. (does it show? :3)

Ahh. Drawing cartoons is very relaxing. It really takes the pressure off on you to make something look as realistic and awesome as possible (not that cartoons aren't awesome!). It gives you a chance to just fool around, have fun, draw something absolutely ridiculous. You can also use it to experiment with your style a bit. Very fun!

And of course, some cartoonists have a gorgeous way of drawing, as is evidenced by the style of Yuko Ota in the webcomic Johnny Wander (check out johnnywander.com - it'll be worth your while), or the style of Lucy Knisley (um....well, she wrote a book called 'French Milk' and has a website somewhere...meh, just Google it. You'll find her.)

Maybe someday I'll write a highly detailed blogpost about the amazingness of cartoon drawing, but right now I am lazy and tired. Yawn. Away with ye.
