Imagination and Creativity |
Let the practice be continued. The next essential requirement is Imagination and Creativity. To gain imagination you must learn to draw plenty of cartoons from references. Chose good cartoon books of your choice. Keep references of cartoonist you like most. All Artists/Cartoonist are not alike. They have their own way of presenting their lines and strokes with different style and creativity added.
The following two cartoons are drawn by two different cartoonists. Their regular cartoons are my inspiration to draw cartoons and illustrations. I always follow their way of drawing lines and curves. Both have different style of cartooning and illustrating. They are well know Cartoonist with experience of more than thirty years in the cartooning and illustration field. Iam still learning from them.
