DRAWING TIP: This character is from one of my cartooning books. Do you know what makes it work? It's the hands! They are the most exaggerated, caricatured aspect of this worried, little guy. Never overlook the opportunity to re-emphasize the nature of your character.

We went to art school to learn how to draw cartoons. But they were teaching life drawing instead! We soon learned that life drawing is the basis for all art.
