Online Cartooning for Profit.
Dear Cartoonist-Wanna-Be,
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always loved drawing. Cartooning has always been a part of me. I often find myself just sketching ideas that will probably never make it beyond my imagination.
Sometimes I find myself laughing out loud at the cartoon that I know would tickle the stoniest of hearts. But the next day as I read it to my dog, I realize it wasn’t as hot as I thought. But hey, enough experimenting have given me some gems worth saving. I’ll post some on it sometime.
Whenever there’s a bit of paper and a pen to hand, I’m doodling … guitars, computers, animals … drawing little cartoons and wishing I was better at it. Like those guys in the dailies I really admire: Schulz (always been my favorite), Jonny Hart … and Lou Darvas (just wait and I’ll tell you more about him).
With practice, I have gotten better. Much better. Even my sister has chuckled a time or two at my cartoons.
I wish I could tell you that I just put in hours and hours of practice until I learned the necessary skills. But I didn’t. Instead, I took a course…. and it’s made me see how easy and successful I could be. I don’t have to think of cartooning as a fun pastime anymore- now I can think of it as a job!
I enrolled upon Lou Darvas’ brand new course Draw Cartoons Today! Lou is one of my cartooning heroes. His stuff graces some of the US’s biggest publications and he’s become a millionaire several times over from his craft.
Where my other art books and hours of practice have failed, Lou has succeeded. In simple steps he took me through how to create great cartoon characters and draw them with ease … even the hands, which was the bit I always struggled with!
And even cooler: he’s shown me how to turn my skills into an income- drawing cartoons for publications, and even caricatures for complete strangers via eBay!!!!
