Step 1

Eager to start drawing a cartoon?But FIRST, you should practice these lines....take a large page (newspapers are best for this practice), start drawing horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines. Draw some curves. Go on practicing the lines. After this you wont find yourself with shaking hands while drawing the cartoons, and you will draw with confidence and firmness of the lines. So build your foundation solidly.

Facial expressions are an important channel of nonverbal communication. Emotions are expressed mainly through the eyebrows and mouth
