Drawing Oil Watercolor Acrylic Pastel Cartooning Special Projects Cartooning: Animation 1 with Preston Blair: Learn to animate step by step (How to Draw & Paint) Facial Expressions An animator’s job is the same as an actor’s job. Both must be masters of portraying emotion. Studying your own grimaces in a mirror is a must. Pick a character you know and draw it with various expressions, as done here with the little pup. The Skeleton Foundation Build the cartoon from a rough skeleton, but don’t expect to always get the skeleton right on the first try! Experiment…discard…make several drawings… then pick the best one. Be sure to work loosely when constructing the character. Hand Construction Cartoon hands can be tricky to draw; follow the steps and study the hands below. The fingers should be placed unevenly to prevent a monotonous quality. Birds A bird’s wing can be changed to a “human” arm and hand for certain expressions and then changed back to the natural handling. Notice that these birds are built on rounded forms.
