Draw a Cartoon Me Face Avatar

By Carmeline Calvistacro

When I was younger I wanted to learn how to draw cartoons of photographs. It is difficult to draw an accurate cartoon me face because it can take a lot of practice. Drawing simple cartoons and tracing is quite easy, but when you try to draw a cartoon when you are looking at a photo is very 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.

My drawings have become more detailed as I grew up, but it is still very difficult for me to draw a cartoon me face avatar of someone in a short period of time. Sometimes I will spend hours drawing someone's ears and mouth and if I can't complete it I just leave it unfinished.

There are so many things you can do to make the face look like it is alive. I'd spend a couple of hours drawing eyes and it took far longer when I drew women. One of my favorite features to draw on a cartoon me face is the beard. Beards and mustaches are fun to draw and truly help to improve someones facial features.

Some people take art classes to improve their drawing skills so they can quickly and easily create a cartoon me face. Art classes actually walk you through the drawing process by using simple steps.

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.

Creating a cartoon me face of someone from a photograph makes a great gift and is sure to make all of your friends and family laugh. Just practice for a few hours and you will be drawing cartoon me avatars of yourself and everyone you know.
