Let's all Draw a Giant of Early Animation

Lets draw Fleischer Studio's legendary character, Koko the Clown in this step by step turnaround tutorial. Kids, teens, and adults will discover their hidden drawing skills as they follow the simple formula for drawing this Koko the Clown turnaround exercise.
In this video I break the lesson into three parts.
•In Step 1: we draw our roadmap for our Koko the Clown turnaround.
•In Step 2: we rough out the features for our Koko the Clown turnaround.
•In Step 3: we level up, drawing the final details of our Koko the Clown turnaround.

02:24 Step1-we draw the roadmap of our Koko Turnaround exercise.
04:51 Step 2-we rough out the features of our Koko Turnaround exercise.
07:21 Step 3-we draw the final details of our Koko Turnaround exercise.
You'll notice I use colored pencils in the first two steps. I do so to make it easy to see each separate step in the process. While you're free to draw with any pencil, pen, marker, or digital pad you wish, I recommend keeping it as simple as possible. And it doesn’t get more simple than a pencil and paper.
You’ll also notice I don’t spend time coloring the characters during the video.
That’s because I want the focus to be on teaching the step by step formula of drawing that character-allowing you to draw them over and over again-improving each time.

Hi, my name is Rich Torrey, and I teach kids, teens, and adults an easy to follow, step-by-step process for drawing cartoon characters using the same simple process I’ve used for the past 30 years as a professional illustrator and cartoonist. It’s a process that will have you drawing even the most difficult characters easier and better than you ever thought possible.
If you’ve struggled with some of the other how-to-draw videos on the internet-it’s because they actually teach you how to draw backwards-starting with those final details.
Good drawings don't happen by magic. It's a process, and I’m here to show you that process!

Great content this week thank you

[@-hassanserbout]

👍👍👍❤

[@LevelUpCartooning]

thank you, Hassan!!!

[@thetimturnershow2883]

Fun Fact about Koko: Dave Fleischer (Max’s Brother) was the original model for Koko, since he had his own clown costume and was a circus performer before the studio took off.

[@LevelUpCartooning]

Yes! Those early films are fascinating to watch. You can literally see David in action.

[@robertcarey45]

This is good! I look foward to other Fleischer drawing lessons from you Rich.

[@LevelUpCartooning]

Thank you, Robert! They had some great characters. Such an iconic style.

[@robertcarey45]

You are welcome Rich. Yes they did, my first introduction to them was their Superman cartoon.

[@LevelUpCartooning]

@@robertcarey45 Those were amazing cartoons-incredible use of rotoscoping. Sadly for Fleischer, Superman marked the end of the line for the studio.

[@robertcarey45]

I did know that about their Superman cartoon.😞 But I agree with you Rich, their rotoscoping was top notch.👍

[@hectorgabrielsanchez6929]

Did you know Fleischer made Superman Cartoons in the 40s. Can try to do a Superman turnaround too.

[@LevelUpCartooning]

Yes! I just might Hector. I'm going to do several Fleischer characters. We'll see if their version of Superman fits in.
