How to Draw a Funny Cartoon Face - For Beginners

Hi , my name is Christopher .

I'm a cartoonist , author of many books on how to draw cartoons .

You know , cartoons can be cute and have a lot of personality , but they can also be funny in a weird way .

There's a lot of weird and funny character designs .

I don't mean creepy , weird , but just silly weird .

Let's try to do one of those kind of characters today .

First , we're gonna use my trusty blue line pencil just to get the uh position right .

We're gonna have the head tilted back .

So already it's kind of goofy .

Here's the neck , here's the head , the eyeline have a weird ear coming back here , here's a collar and sloped shoulders .

So we already know he's a goofy guy and we're gonna change all this or actually just draw over it and get everything finalized once we finish having the blue pencil stuff in shape .

So let's bring this nose down .

See if we like that position there .

Yeah , I think that works .

I give this guy a big over bite because that's one way to be really goofy and uh a big mouth .

I'm gonna give them really extra weird teeth that aren't going quite line up , kind of like an orthodontists dream job here and I will give him eyes that break barrier of the outline of the head .

We're gonna float an eyebrow out here .

A baseball cap .

Why not ?

All right .

So now we have this down .

Um I make this a little longer and let's use the black pencil , the trusty black pencil .

See if we can make this thing really work .

Well , I'm going to bring this eye out a little further this way , a little close to the ear and use some care to try to draw a good circle , two good circles the outside and the pupil .

Same thing here except it's gonna be cut off on one side by the bridge of the nose , float the pupils in the middle of the eyes because that gives a kind of silly stare .

And I'm gonna give him thick eyebrows , they go up and as I said , I'm gonna float an eyebrow off the face which is always a goofy look big overbite .

Another kind of weird funny look at a very high cheek for the smile .

I'm gonna give him an under bite because I gave him an overbite here .

If I brought the , the the lower part out here , what will be the sense of it ?

I wanna exaggerate something .

So it's the overbite .

And by doing , by making this an under bite , we exaggerate the overbite and I'll bring that weak chin in here flop that ear out like so bring this collar down , have that neck go into the color and then give him this funny hunched back .

I see your arm little shady under the collar .

Now we will give them teeth like I said , they do not line up and the easiest way to do that is draw one row at a time and just fit them in between round the teeth off , you know , surrounded teeth are funnier for a goofy .

Look .

Here we go .

Little shading under here , really floppy here for a goofy character and I'm gonna cut it off right here .

Kind of like a sharp angle here .

It's not really a baseball hat .

It's kind of like a funny , weird hat .

That's ok because he's a weird character .

Ok .

So there's some fun things you can see the whole motif is looking kind of odd and that's uh that's fun stuff in cartooning .

A lot of the new shows have that you don't just have to be cute .

You can be a little more inventive if you like nothing's ever wrong with cute .

But there you have some fun stuff .
