No doubt about it, “cute” is a favorite attribute of fans of cartoons and manga. It’s very important to be able to draw cute stuff; people love drawing cute characters. So, let’s get serious, for a moment, about cuteness! There are many techniques you can use to characters, such as drawing big eyes, big forehead, small mouths, wide cheeks, small chins, and so on. And I teach many of them in my book, “Cartoon Cute Animals”.
The most important technique is your gut feeling. Let yourself be guided by that part of your instinct that loves a puppy, or that melts when you see an adorable toddler. If your drawing doesn’t give you those warm feelings, try making another adjustment to it.
That’s the tip of the day!
