- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Dermot O'Connor and welcome to Foundations of Drawing Cartoon Characters for Animation. This course is an overview of the basic principles that you need to start drawing cartoon characters. You don't need to know any computer programs to follow this course. You can follow along with paper and pencil. Alternatively, if you have a Cintiq or a Wacom or a tablet, you can draw on those. First, we're going to go over the basic rules of thumb. The simple principles and guidelines that underlay all good cartoon characters. Then, we're going to talk about the best way to draw body parts, like the eyes, the mouth, hair, hands. Even clothing and natural effects like water, fire, and smoke. Finally, we'll take a look at how to bring all these principles and techniques together to create a finished, memorable character that we can draw. Now, let's get started with the Foundations of Drawing Cartoon Characters for Animation.
