1. Do you make faces while drawing a character’s expression?
  2. Do you go through angst about changing a drawing even though you know it needs it?
  3. Do you add personality to your characters by changing the hair, pose or clothes?
  4. Do you focus expressions on the eyebrows rather than on the eyes?
  5. When you reassess a drawing, do you imagine what your character might be thinking?
  6. Do you try to keep a group of characters within a consistent style?


If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you’re exhibiting artistic traits well above the average hobbyist. You, my friend, are a cartoonist!
