This is a cartoon I drew by hand featuring various fashion styles. I’ve overlaid it with some digital colour and added the background digitally.

Digital Art-cartoon caricature of my children shaded with free cartoon software Pixia

08/02/2010 · Leave a Comment

I’m not a huge fan of digital art cartoons but I am determined to learn how to draw them. This is my first ever attempt at a hand-drawn caricature shaded using cartoon software Pixia (free cartoon software).

Digital Art for children- Cartoon caricature created using Pixia and Toonworks

08/02/2010 · Leave a Comment

This is a cartoon caricature of my daughter Sophie (aged 7). I drew the face and hair with gel pen, shaded using free cartoon software Pixia and added the cartoon body using cartoon software (for children) Toonworks.

I am quite pleased with the combined result and it was very easy to achieve.

Toonworks is great for creating fast,fun cartoon caricatures and as it is cartoon software for children it is very easy to use (for adults too!). Your children can be creating fun cartoons in no time with Toonworks. They allow you to download a free trial version and the full version is between £14-£20.

More details on Toonworks cartoon software here.

I am new to forum creation myself so any tips and help re what to add etc. are appreciated.

Oh the irony! Top of Google for ‘cartoonists forum’

04/02/2010 · 2 Comments

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

I was accused (paraphrasing) of wanting to take over the world (cyber world at least) and endangering the careers of other cartoonists by  going to number 1 on Google with my blog for the term ‘best gag cartoonist’ or something like that. I wrote a ranty post about the absurd nature of that accusation and lo…what do I now see when I Google search ‘cartoonists forum’ I see that post at number 1 spot…despite the fact it was deleted shortly after I posted it.

Oh well.

Meanwhile the good news is I now have my own cartoonists forum, not sure where that ranks as yet!

It’s here, cartoonist forum, please pop by and say hello.
