Why it is important to draw fine lines


When you draw a cartoon, it is important to show your strength in creating a strong drawing. For example, if you draw a cartoon character in strong and bold lines, then your confidence as an artist will manifest itself through your artwork.

Many drawings have been rejected because Art Editors don't like artists with a self-conscious drawing style. They want a drawing that does three things: oozes panache, easily conveys a message in a funny way and reflects the style of their magazine.

If you mean to draw a cat, then you have to draw a character that looks like a cat. I like my cats to scowl and to have piercing blue eyes.

Over the last two weeks, I spent many hours using brush pens to draw cats for a client. I enclose the second cartoon, fyi, which comments on the ongoing filthiness that exists today in pubs and restaurants.
