Here’s a quick little video on cartoon “shading.” Adding some line work to your cartoons can dress them up and even add that little bit of extra “punch.”
It’s a sort of “eye candy” kind of thing.
Simply by adding line shading, you can create a fun effect that draws the reader in a bit. I try to do it as much as possible with my cartoon work. It’s a nice change of pace from simply filling in areas with black ink. The extra thin and thick lines also add a bit of character and style to the drawing. Plus, it’s a lot of fun to do!
