BEGINNERS GUIDE TO CARTOONING PEOPLE

I appreciate past-Erika going through the effort of creating a video in 2016, but honestly, it could have been done better. So there it is, the updated version of that video, now scripted and edited!
I created my first ART GUIDE! It teaches you How to Draw ANYONE as a Cartoon. Find out more: aki-anyway-shop.fourthwall.com/
In this video I talk about how to cartoonize people and how you can make anyone into a cartoon. I start with the basics, how to recognize the shapes and proportions of the person you want to draw, and then I break the process down step by step.
I show how you can draw simplified eyes, noses, mouths, hair and the whole face shape! This way you'll be able to cartoon yourself, a celebrity, or anyone you want.
At the end of the video there is a time-lapse drawing that shows my process of drawing in my own style, a bit more complex cartoon style.
Hope you find the video useful! Thanks for watching

I created a COMPLETE GUIDE about cartooning people! It teaches how to draw ANYONE from a reference! Check it out here: www.aki-anyway.com 🙌

[@nirellediamond]

My first job was drawing caricatures at a theme park. 2 weeks of training in a stifling trailer with 13 other people and all using alcohol markers.... Maybe I was a little on a goofy-high, but this taught me more than they did haha.

[@yourmomsdildodrawer]

I don't know how to draw....anything.

[@uhhwhateverdude9463]

Start with drawing lines, 2D shapes, 3D geometric shapes

[@unasworld8168]

how about a line? If not then I’m dead…💀

Same...... anything........ ANYTHING

First time here and immediately fell in love with your personality 😍 and your way of teaching drawing 🤯. I immediately subscribed. Your way of teaching is proof that the subject may be the same but the approach makes the whole difference.

[@aki_anyway]

I’m happy you think so, welcome! 🙌🌟

[@lovdlyon]

Very true I don't even draw but I could watch vids like this and jazza everyday

[@aki_anyway]

Have you ever seen the original video from 2016? (If you didn't... don't.)

Just watched your old video of this same topic. You mentioned your English was not good but after years of practice. Your English is really good. So not just art . If you practice you can get better at anything.

I suck at drawing but I have been wanting to see what my girlfriend would look like in animation so I wonder if I should try this

[@Hollister146]

Should his beauty mark be added or would it be over the top for this type of drawing?

[@aki_anyway]

I would add beauty marks only if they are important to the person’s look. For example I would add it for Marilyn Monroe, but not for Harry

[@Green_star_gamer]

I have the cartoonist style EVER my mouth series is evidence

[@davidsantiagoaragongonzale2394]

How do i draw lips that don't look too big in comparison eoth the character?

[@aki_anyway]

You could draw lips in different ways, for example one way is drawing just a single line to represent the whole mouth. If your lips look too big and you can't draw them smaller, you might need to draw your character's face bigger or use a thinner lead to draw. This way every face element can have the correct proportions

[@cams_funnies]

don't worry I trust you your Italian.

[@PreparedDeath]

Flexing with the “impossible Zendaya drawing”

[@trillz4106]

Brushes?

[@TheDrukGirl-sf8cq]

Can this work on Ibis paint?

[@aki_anyway]

Sure, you can use any drawing software, even a mobile app

[@NathanRiveraMelo]

Solid tutorial. You are unreasonably attractive.

[@lytnin88]

Aki, this is a tutorial on caricature, so why don't you use the word "caricature"?

[@aki_anyway]

When I hear about “caricature drawing” I think about super exaggerated features, brought to the extreme. This is different from what I do.

[@holybedrock]

😂😂😂😂
