Make A Cartoon Me Avatar

By Carmeline Calvistacro

I always wanted to be able to draw a cartoon me face from a photograph. One of the reasons it is tricky to draw a cartoon me face is that it takes years of practice. I can trace and draw simple cartoons, but to draw a cartoon from just taking a look at a photograph is a lot more difficult

Some people have an artistic gift and are very patient when they draw a cartoon by looking at photos and their cartoons are not too funny. With me, my drawings look more like cartoons even if it is not intentional.

I'd take my box of 64 Crayola crayons and use the tiny sharpener on the back. I'd pick my favorite colors whether or not they matched or not I did not care. I might try to draw a cartoon me face of my buddies and they'd giggle.

Drawing a cartoon me face of someone is still my biggest challenge after years of training and several art classes. I sometimes get frustrated drawing someones eyes because they are the most difficult to draw and can take hours of practice.

You can add lots of colors to your drawings to make them come alive. Drawing women and their eyes is much more difficult than drawing men. I like to draw a cartoon me face of men and then add a beard and mustache. They are easy to draw and really improve the definition of the cartoons features.

Taking an art class will definitely cut the learning curve to drawing a cartoon me face. Art classes definitely help add detail to your drawings and almost bring them to life.

Taking an art class is not expensive if you go to a community college rather than an art institute. Nowadays you can create a cartoon me face quickly by using drawing computer programs that you can download for free off the internet. It is easy to find all sorts of these programs online and they are free for the most part.

Drawing cartoons takes a lot of time and patience although it is still very entertaining. One of the most challenging things will always be to draw a cartoon me face by just looking at a photo.

Giving a cartoon me face drawing to someone as a present is a a great gag gift you can give that they will actually keep and maybe even post on their refrigerator. You will be able to draw cartoon me avatars of all of your family and friends after just a few hours of practice.
