how i do make a cartoon out of my drawing?

i have a cartoon called juice box hero i just made up……. anyways drew it on paper then i took it to the computer and made it on there. so now i want to make a mini cartoon series with him but i cant just draw a different picture everytime i want a new frame. i want to take 1 or 2 pics and somehow move them like the arms and mouth and legs! do you know how i can do that for free online?? ill be so happy if you can tell me help a kid out :’)

for action motion you would have to redraw each frame, you can replicate main character from frame 1 to frame 2, and alter only the parts in motion,

Benettonplay! Flipbook could be used as testing animation motion,

How To Draw Cartoon Animation Drawings On The Computer?

Interested in websites and online training where I can learn to draw digital cartoons and computer graphics

Learning to draw is about perception. How you see things and how you consider them to be. The difference between a layman and an artist is simply one of creative interpretation. A layman may try to visualize things in recognizable terms — like a car or a bus or a lake. An artist, however, is more interested in the overall composition — the shapes, the lines, the textures, the depth.

Everyone’s an artist in one form or another. Our minds are full of unexplored ideas that we want to turn into something good, something personal. You don’t need expensive paint or canvases to explore this side of yours… Just pick up a pencil and a sheet of paper and try ‘doodling’. It may sound simplistic, but that’s how a lot of ideas spring out. Look at ‘The Simpsons’. The early shows were simply character doodles. But over time, the artists learned to redraw and refine the characters; give them more color, more shades, and better shapes.

Creativity works the same way as well. It’s a process of redrawing and refinement, before they’re scanned into the computer for ink and paint. You don’t have to be perfect to begin with; you just have to begin drawing.

i can draw cartoons but i need to look at a picture of them

I used to draw characters from the funny papers all the time. After a while you memorize the lines of each character. I can draw several of them from memory to this day. Just keep practicing.

Good luck!

How do I go on getting my T.V show idea to networks?

I have a T.V show idea, mainly about the comics I use to draw. The T.V show idea is a cartoon, and is comedy. How do I go on trying to pitch this to T,V networks? And which network would you recommend I contact?

To be honest, that’s a hard question to answer. I have never tried pitching a TV show to any network so I might be wrong, however I have recorded with a few bands and written various poems (which have been published) and shorts stories and essays and I’m under the belief that most TV networks do not accept unsolicited material (i.e. material that is not asked for by the network), much like most record labels. If they did they would have to review thousands of terrible ideas (not saying that your idea is terrible but lots of things that make it on TV don’t make it on TV, if you get my drift) in the hope of finding a few good ones. I believe it would be beneficial to your cause if you knew anyone (specifically from a creative background) who knew programming directors or higher-ups at a network to get your foot in the door if they are willing to speak on your behalf. That being said, if you are deadset on pitching an idea to a network by yourself I say have a finished product – a full animation with sound (dialogue and possibly music) in a video format on an easily playable device (dvd-r) all recorded and animated in the highest quality possible (much like making a demo CD for a band). If you go into a meeting or even bumrush the office with drawings on a sheet of paper and a loose concept they are probably going to laugh you out of there.

As far as which networks to contact – that’s really up to you: which network would be most interested in your idea? If it’s a children’s show I’d say contact any of the major networks which play Saturday morning cartoons or Cartoon Network. If it’s more adult-oriented I would say contact Adult Swim or Comedy Central.
(Note: I get the feeling that Adult Swim is more relaxed and might accept any odd thing that shows up at their door and give it a chance based on their programming lineup [again not speaking on the quality, simply the surrealness of it all], however this is simply an assumption. I also think you should know that with the exception of South Park, Dr. Katz and Drawn Together [forgive me if I'm missing some] very few cartoons on Comedy Central have done excessively well, either in ratings or getting renewed for multiple seasons [which is in the end determined by ratings] although some have gone on to become cult classics and become critcally acclaimed. This could also be said for numerous shows on Adult Swim, however I believe more of their shows have a farther-reaching legacy. That being said who you pitch to all depends on whether you’re going for the big pay-day or are sufficient with people sitting around in small, dank apartments at 3 a.m. heralding your genius and watching your show on dubbed VHS.)

Slow but steady wins the race, as the old adage goes, and if you were willing to invest more time in this idea, I might suggest pitching your comics to a publishing house or even a comic book publisher. Again, which publisher you choose to approach would have to deal with the specifics of your comic and the dynamics of such, but the publishing industry is a bit more relaxed as far as what they will accept and take a look at. (This being said, do not go for broke – I recommend approaching someone who is not a chief executive of a major publisher and someone who is more likely to take an interest in your work. People who have things that sell well will rarely wish to seek outside the box for ideas that might not.) In addition, this approach will build the stamina you need to show a TV network you’re not a fluke and willing to commit (animating a 30-minute cartoon is tons of work) and might also gain you a following and a little bit of leverage when you do decide to pitch your idea to a network. As said before, when approaching a publisher bring a finished product to the table. Decent-length (20-30 pages), fully colored, inked, and bound (cover in glossy if you can afford it or find someone to do it) to show them you’re not fooling around and are serious about your work.

I guess what I’m trying to say with all of this is that no one with a TV show had an idea for a TV show and it was then blinked into existence. All of them worked incredibly hard at formulating and then tweaking their concept into a workable commodity for the network which chose to air it. They sold their idea to the network who in turn sold it to viewers and the bottom line is that no one will buy something that is rubbish. That being said I hope this has been helpful and I hope you do well.

P.S. – If ever I see your show on TV, I want my royalty check.

I was wondering how to make a cartoon image in search of a normal picture?

I've seen people with pictures on myspace how are you where the coloring and everything looks different from what the pictures look like they were drawn. Does anyone know how I can do this to my images? and if there is any free software help me to do? Thanks so much

Microsoft Digital Image or other standard software photo editing lets you apply different "effects" an image as "ink," "pencil" or "crayon". Otherwise, you can do it the old fashioned way: pixel by pixel in the application brush. Just open and save your picture with a name other than work in any way. You can search for free or try to license photo editing program for download@www.download.com, even if you decide to use it only once and then remove the program from your computer.

if I take a cartoon drawing of the website, and redesign in illustrator, is the author?

I found a picture of a cartoon character I would like to residential use for my design work ….( i teachers to help facilitate learning) and I took it in illustrator and redesigned that … is this author? was found on Google Images

If you drew exactly the same in Illustrator or made it look a little different which is contrary of copyright laws. For a little different I mean to change color, add a bow, add a line, can still be considered a matter of rights author. That the laws of copyright is very gray and hard to understand sometimes. I just would contact the person who took the picture and see if it's okay to use part of the image for educational purposes. Usually, it slides a bit if used for educational purposes.
