Many people will start drawing cartoons as an easy and fun way to learn some of the basic skills of drawing. Drawing different cartoons can be an easier way to work on certain drawing techniques then other types of images. They are also well known images and often being able to draw something that is instantly recognizable can be a real confidence boost for someone who is just starting out with this art form.

For adults, cartoons take them back to their childhood, when watching afterschool and Saturday morning cartoons was a big part of their lives. Being able to reproduce some of the more popular ones has a lot of nostalgia attached to it. For kids, it’s more of an immediacy thing. They are usually watching cartoons, reading comic books and playing with character related toys. For them to draw cartoons is just a natural action at that age.

Drawing cartoons is also popular because they tend to be fairly easy to draw, and so for a beginner it is much more satisfying. If you are struggling to create certain images, it can be reassuring to be able to draw a complete image that looks very close to the real thing. Cartoons tend to be based on rounded shapes joined together, and so they can usually be drawn with a minimal amount of effort, even for a beginner.

Probably the main reason why cartoon drawing is popular has to do with the connection they create with almost everyone. Someone who is good at drawing people may garner impressed comments from those around him or her, but if you want people to be excited about what you draw, then a cartoon will usually get a stronger reaction. Everyone knows certain cartoon characters, like Mickey Mouse, Spongebob, and so on. There is a universal connection that you can create by drawing a cartoon for someone else.

Drawing cartoons is a popular way for people to learn how to draw. They are composed of simple drawing techniques and will make those who look at your drawings be more interested in doing so. As much as we may respect someone who can draw a very realistic looking picture, someone who can draw cartoons is going to be the one who is more popular. If you’re not interested in popularity then this won’t matter, but if drawing is a simple hobby for you, learning how to draw cartoon characters could be a lot of fun.
