I hope you guys are ready for some more really cool cartoon characters on the way and I really think you will like them all. For my first lesson I will be showing you “how to draw a cartoon person", step by step. The figure you will be learning is of a really pretty girl. I didn’t want to sketch out a typical looking girl standing up facing forward holding a flower or some other stupid typical object. Instead, I will show you "how to draw a cartoon girl" posing in a really cute kneeling position looking pretty. I think that this drawing is one of my favorites out of all the cartoon people I have ever drawn to date. I’m not talking about anime/manga characters, I’m just talking about people in general. I gave this chick nice blond hair that is shoulder length. She also has a pretty green bow holding up one side of her hairdo and then a really cute outfit. Her feet are bare to represent the summer months and a really friendly background. I think you will find this lesson absolutely adorable from head to toe. I hope you guys have fun learning “how to draw a cartoon person", step by step. I will be back peeps, so stay tuned for the return of my presents. Peace out and happy drawing.

Hey I'm not sure if I will get an answer because this may be an old post, but if you or anybody could tell me what program you used to make the outlines/cartoon in this tutorial? or what program would be best for cartoon making. I use ilspeechlessrator, but I was wondering if there was another program special for cartoon making/drawing. Thanks

Yh... It is annoying when you get to a boring part, or a part that isn't going to be fun to write, but you need to write it because its the story.. =D
