A Cartoon Picture - Something a Little More Behind the Fun
By Kiev Lintz
A cartoon picture can portray anything from something funny, all the way to something starkingly serious. The way the picture is drawn and colored can great affect the feel that is given off, much like with any other artistic form. While cartoons have long been thought to be an immature art form, the fact is that it is maturing all of the time. New styles are always coming up, as well as subject matter. The kiddy cartoons of years past are being replaced with more mature and artfully drawn mediums.
Not many would have given a cartoon picture even a second glance a few decades ago. There were not many out that were especially visually appealing as the medium was rather new, and the technology available at the time didn't lend any help to cartoon artists. Around the mid 1990's Japanese animation started to really boom in the United States, which brought a whole new level of awareness of cartoons in general.
Before the Japanese animation boom, American animation had been crude at best. Japanese animation at the time was leagues above what was being made in other parts of the world. The lines were generally very crisp, colors were very vivid, and the art style was distinctly unique. This boom gave way to a whole new wave of cartoon fans, and opened the doors to a whole new way to draw and perceive any cartoon picture.
While animation and cartoon styles in general were going through their maturing in the 1990's, computer animation and design was also growing. Using computers, cartoon artists could draw, tweak, and color their work easily without a need for ink or extensive linework. This helped with animation as well, as each frame could be drawn and dealth with on the computer, eliminating the need to individually draw and scan each individual frame. This not only made it much easier to animate, but also made it less expensive and take far less time. Features that would have taken several months or a couple of years before were suddenly finished in a few months or weeks. It was quite a big jump.
Today's cartoon stills, comics, and full-motion cartoon films are much easier to make and are more visually stunning than ever before. This is because of many reasons, though the main two are the Japanese animation influence as well as the maturing of graphic design technology. These two factors have changed the face of cartoons and animation forever.
The differences between cartoons 20 years ago and those today can make it difficult for anyone to go back and look at a cartoon picture from the past. At this rate, cartooning is looking to be one of the bigger entertainment and art mediums of this century.

Cartoon Me - Draw Cartoon Faces
By Carmeline Calvistacro
By Carmeline Calvistacro
When I first started trying to draw a cartoon me avatar, I discovered it was far more challenging than I was lead to believe. I am told that even professional artists sometimes have a difficult time making the cartoon resemble the person they are drawing. I always wondered if there was a short cut or an easy way to learn this.
I thought enrolling in art classes would solve the problem. Little did I know that drawing a cartoon avatar was a lot more than enrolling in some art class at the local community college. I found that drawing something so complicated was more natural talent than a learned skill.
I would say the main reason that is not easy to draw a cartoon me avatar is because most of it comes down to natural talent. There is only so much you can learn. It is almost like singing, where you either have it or you do not. There is no amount of practice that one can do to improve once they reach a certain point. Basically it comes down to ones natural artistic gift.
Sometimes when I just tried to draw a person, it actually turned out they looked more like a cartoon anyways. This was unintentional but due more to my lack of natural artistic ability. Although I can draw a cartoon avatar, it is not nearly as good as some people can.
The hardest part of drawing a cartoon me avatar is definitely coloring the eyes. The eyes bring the face to life and are what make the drawing unique and real. There was nothing that challenged me more than bringing a cartoon face to life by perfectly drawing the eyes.
The newest way to actually draw a decent cartoon face is to find a computer program to help you do the hard work. There are many computer programs online that will actually assist you in turning a photo of yourself into a cartoon avatar.
If you are determined to become a great artist, it takes natural talent, skill and patience. By balancing all of things with plenty of practice, you should be able to draw a cartoon me avatar in a few months.

TVXQ is still here !
annyeong !
today, is the first day for 2010 ! >.<
but... nothing's new =_= gah~ COME ON !
as usual, i am being so lazy this holiday. All i've to do is... staying at home, become a good girl, having lunch, so what's new then? How terrible =_=
HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL ! :D
but listen ! i get important news from... so many sites actually, sure because it's important and everybody's to know ! it's about Korean's best boy group, TVXQ. Yahoo ! Japan stated that TVXQ is officially disbanded ! sure, i am going to "what the..?!" Yahoo ! Japan stated that tension within the group has become so high and bad that it's reached its limit, saying that Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu showed more passion to perform than the other two as they seem to have lost the will to go on and the most is, the three have new agency to continue their activity. O_O
BUT ! the truth is, that's false. Well, actually SM also don't give long/ detail information about it, they just said that the reporter's statement is false because the truth planning for TVXQ is apparently begin promotions for their last single BREAK OUT! on the 27th of January, and to release their last album on February 17th with one final goodbye concert in June.
oh, thanks god v_v
i hope SM will get the BEST solution for this problem, it should be hard condition for TVXQ's members. TVXQ, always keep the faith !
