Hi, my name is Mik, Mik Brown. At miko-cartoon.com.
I'm a cartoonist and I'm going to show you how to draw some cartoons. Let's have fun. Now I'm going to show you how to draw cartoons online.
I use what is called a Wacom tablet for that. I look at the computer in front of me and the Wacom tablet I am sketching on is underneath the computer. I am just going to sketch a character.
We'll put the eyes in this character now. I'll change the color, we will give him some blue eyes. Of course, drawing on the computer like this, it can actually be put online.
I sort of color it up and save it. It is a little bit easier than drawing with pencil because, for example, with those two last lines, if I've made a mistake then I can undo them, and undo them almost as many times as I want, so that is much easier than rubbing out. You can change the size of the brush easily.
He is sitting at his computer. This is not me, doesn't look anything like me, working on the Wacom tablet, sitting in front of his computer. How about that; there's the desk.
Now as far as coloring and anything else. I need a flesh coloring and there are plenty of fleshing colors around, so I'm going to choose that one, and I'm going to go up to the paint bucket tool, and just press the area in. Another nice one I have got.
We can go to the tools up here and I can get myself an airbrush and I can do a digital airbrush so I can do a sort of, assuming I'm wearing a silly colored jumper, which I am not. Might be a question of opinion I suppose. Just add a bit of color, in turn, gives nice shading with this tool.
You can blend colors in. Having done this, I can save it and send it anywhere I'd like to online. I'm just going to put my important little signature there.
Go back to the crown tool. There we go. And that is how you draw cartoons online.
