Cartoonist

I decided what I want to do when I grow up. It is unusually early to decide, but I think this job will be perfect for me. A cartoonist. I was a little bit younger when I made some comics for my dad. They were O.K. for a beginner who with no intention, had no idea what they were actually doing. I was bored around last year and read from my sisters book, “The Great Big Art Activity book”. I thought cartooning was pretty cool. In Computer class last semester, my class went to a career website, where I quickly viewed about a cartoonists job, but focused more on being a writer, a big idea of a job for me. Yesterday, a Saturday, my family went to the library and I checked a book called “Art For Kids: Cartooning” by a cartoonist named Art Roche. This book went deeper into cartooning, from good materials to making people, objects, and animals. From hints for getting jokes to publishing your cartoons! It even explained the different types of cartoons. A gag cartoons which is picture, usually in a square, and shows the joke, then below a caption of what the speaker says. Advertising cartoons are the ones on a cereal box. Comic books, and even plain doodling. I now want to get a kneaded eraser which is an eraser that feels like clay and you can clean it by pulling it apart over and over. This book also said not to spend too much money on materials, the honest truth. I read it in the amount of a day and so far have created a gag cartoon and currently working on a comic book. You are also toured by the one and only Bunny Guy!

  1. You need to put your cartoons on line so we can all see them! What a great idea! I hope you are successful at it!
