How to Draw Eyes

Most people have difficulty with eyes. Here is a great little video on drawing eyes. See how the large shapes are focused on ignoring the detail. The details are put in last. Great technique

Drawing Another Head Pt 1

This is a great video of a head being drawn step-by-step. Its done digitally with a pen mouse.
Awesome from beginning to end.

This is another art video I came across on YouTube. Not only is the art good but it is animated and morphed to create some brilliant effects. Definitely a must see.

Justin Clayton paints fruit, see it from start to finish in time-lapse.

An entire story of characters are told with sand drawings. Absolutely amazing!!

If that is not cool I don’t know what is.

Animation takes patience and skill. Anything you ever do in animation, even if it is computer animated, starts with a drawing. If you want to get good in animation then start drawing everything. Once you draw enough of the world around you or photos out of magazines you will gain more mental mass on drawing cartoons. Animation is really just an exaggerated reality with creativity and imagination added together. The best way to get good at drawing cartoons without having to spend too much money is by checking out books for free from your local library. You can check out a good variety of children’s books to start. Children’s books are a great resource for animation because they tend to be packed with animated characters. You may want to check other parts of the library because they may have “How To Draw” books. If you don’t have access to your local library try looking online. There are a ton of great resources online about “Drawing Animation” and “Learning How to Draw.”
Watch this video as an animated character comes to life on paper.

Another great drawing, this is all done digitally in the computer! Awesome!

Well I hope you enjoyed these demonstrations. Now it’s time to draw, draw, draw!
