Famous Artists Cartoon Course: The Comic Head

Famous Artists Cartoon Course: The Comic Head is a digital PDF lesson on the foundations of cartoon head drawing. This instructional download is available for instant download after purchase.

The lesson explains how to construct expressive cartoon heads with simple forms, guide lines, distinctive features, and clear expressions. It is designed for readers who want to practice cartooning through observation, repetition, and direct drawing exercises.

Book Overview

This English-language art instruction lesson comes from Famous Artists Cartoon Course, Inc. It begins with the balloon head and develops a practical method for drawing heads in front, side, and three-quarter views.

The lesson covers the three-dimensional structure of the head, the placement of the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, and the use of curved center and eye lines. It also addresses changing head shapes, varying feature placement, drawing hair, creating girls’ heads, and showing emotion through facial expressions and head gestures.

The approach encourages simplicity. It explains how artists can eliminate detail and exaggerate outstanding characteristics while preserving a character’s recognizable personality.

What You’ll Discover Inside

  • How to build a cartoon head from a freely drawn balloon shape.
  • How center and eye lines establish direction, angle, and three-dimensional form.
  • How to place the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears in different views.
  • How changing head shapes and feature locations creates different character types.
  • How hair, eyes, lips, and facial details contribute to character design.
  • How facial expressions and head gestures communicate emotions such as joy, sorrow, anger, surprise, and fear.
  • How observation, memory, and regular practice support cartoon drawing.

Why This Book Matters

The comic head is presented as a basic building block for cartoon characters. The lesson connects clear visual communication with the ability to simplify forms and express personality in a small number of lines.

Its exercises remain relevant to readers studying traditional cartoon construction, facial expression, character development, and observational drawing. The examples show how different levels of realism and exaggeration can grow from the same underlying head structure.
