How to Make Funny Cartoons and Tees - Shopping

When you talk about cartoons, you talk about anything cheerful and gay and fun. Cartoons represent happy moments in our lives and though they're very easy to appreciate, they can be very intimidating to create. In fact, you probably thought you could never draw one cartoon in your life even if you wanted to. But there's no reason not to try.

Begin by imagining your favorite characters on an ordinary day in cartoonland - playing, running around, laughing, partying. It's usually an inspiring thought. It will make you want to create something like all that fun you see on tv, the Internet, in comics and other media. If you've been wondering how to pursue what is probably a long-lost passion for this art, you'll be surprised that it's not all that hard to do.

In fact, there is absolutely no need for you to be an expert in drawing. And no, you don't need classes for this. There are no expensive how-to guides or manuals to buy and there is no particular urgency to hire a guru to make you draw a Mickey. You just need yourself, some drawing materials, a genuine interest to learn and a few basic tips.First, remember that the one thing that makes cartoons memorable, or attractive, to say the least, is their element of distortion. This is not a scientific term of any sort but rather a word that has to be taken as it is. If Mickey Mouse didn't have such wide ears that ran in marked disproportion to his narrow shoulders, would we have remembered him if we saw him for the first time? Maybe not. Distortion simply means exaggeration of certain parts of the subject of your drawing, thus, creating a comic effect. You will find that without this element in cartoons, we probably won't even be talking about them right now.

And then, remember that cartoons are all about shapes, shades and lines. It's tempting to make your cartoon look sophisticated once you've begun with your pencil but it's always wiser to first complete an outline of the character before adding the details. That's because, unless you're an expert, there's a good chance you might be lost and then you won't even know what you're drawing. As you practice drawing cartoons, you'll be glad to know that it's not just a piece of cake. It has a real sweet flavor to it once you're done and happy with the result.

Whether you're creating your own cartoon character or copying someone else's work, you'll find it a great idea to print your drawings on t-shirts. Actually, it makes a good idea for a business venture. But if you're simply a fan of cartoons and would like to be wearing them, rejoice! There's a whole lot of funny cartoon t-shirts you can choose from and maybe be inspired by to create your own line.
