LET’S FACE IT
Cartoon faces are the most important element of character design, as the features that make up that face convey your character’s personality! For example, heavy-lidded eyes; a weak chin; goofy, protruding ears; and a wide, toothy smile are all telling signs of a character’s mood and manner. Practice drawing variations of each feature—draw tall eyes and small eyes, round ears and pointy ears, thin lips and fat lips, bulbous noses and broken noses. And don’t forget to accessorize!

ALL EYES HERE Cartoon eyes can take many different shapes—they can be tall, small, wide, skinny, open, closed, asymmetrical, bugged-out, or even just a couple of dots! Highlights can be drawn with squares or rectangles, or not at all. And don’t forget about the eyebrows—from bushy and thin to straight and curved, the shape and size of eyebrows tell a lot about your character’s attitude!
