Creating Your Own Cartoon Character




lines can be a little hard to do. It takes a lot of time and a wide imagination. We all see different kinds of characters that we find it funny or ridiculous. Everything will depend on how creative the cartoonist. Take the following steps to create a cartoon:


The first thing is to decide what your character will be. You should know what kind of character is going to be. This can really give enough time for reflection. You can not simply imitate other characters from other comics. You must make your own unique type of cartoon. It is the only way were going to make an effective one that is far from those already existing. Need a lot of imagination for it.


The next step is to give them their own unique personalities. Is the character shy, evil or good? Regardless of personality, it just needs to have one. Do not create multiple personality character. You can create another character for another character.


The third step is to create a weak point and strong point of the character's personality. We notice at any cartoon character or comic strip to their strengths and weaknesses. For example, one is strong on the ground, but is weak on water. It does not matter whether it is a hero or a villain, no one can be perfect all the time. This is just like the characters in real life, only to be animated and not real.


Once you finish deciding the features listed above, it is now time to create the physical features of the cartoon. Is it a girl or a boy? Is he old or young? You are free to exaggerate here, because they are caricatures. They may be impossible, but as you keep it interesting, it will always be accepted. Make sure you get all the details. Cartoons are just graphics, but they must have all necessary information to make more clear vision of what the characters look like.


Have fun with the process. Being a cartoonist should not be stressful. Just be yourself, and create a cartoon that you like. Also, always remember to not create such a perfect one. They have their weaknesses. It would be very boring if the cartoon was all perfect.


These are the steps on how to make your own cartoon character.
