First Things First

What you will need to draw

Before you begin, gather up these swell supplies

  • Some pencils
  • Paper - A sketch pad is best, but any plain paper will do.
  • Pencil sharpener
  • Rubber

Later on, when you are ready to colour your drawings, you may want to try out some felt-tips, markers, crayons, coloured pencils, water colours or even acrylic paint.

Master the basics

Before learning to draw any cartoon characters, it's a good idea to get warmed up. Start by drawing simple shapes like circles ovals and curves. Don't worry about making them perfect, just keep your wrist nice and loose. When you feel comfortable with your shapes, move on to the next steps and just take one thing at a time.

Take it Step by Step

Usually artists draw characters in several steps. Sometimes the steps are different, depending on what you're drawing. The important thing to remember is to start simply and add details later. The blue lines in our steps show each new step and the black lines show what you have already drawn.
