K-Lo Celebrates Halloween Early

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Today’s Cartoon of the Day is K-Lo. Most people like candy, but K-Lo really likes it. In fact, he likes it enough to start trick or treating in June. It may be tougher to convince people to give him treats, but there’s less competition. In a leather jacket and jeans, he may be warm, but at least his costume is a little intimidating. If you want to dress up now (but without the candy), you can- create a cartoon you right away!

Brew A Pot Of Coffee

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Here around MakeACartoonYou.com offices, we all hit a bit of a writer’s block sometimes. And that means we get cartooner’s block, too!

Our suggestion: Brew a pot of coffee!

Of course, not everyone feels more inspired once they’ve had a cup of Joe. But anything that tingles your senses will do the trick. Brew some tea, smell some spices, or have a little snack, because anything that inspires your taste might inspire your mind too.

So good luck in your effort to find cartoon inspiration- go ahead and make that coffee and then create your own cartoon!

Do Artists Fish?

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Today’s Cartoon of the Day is Celine. One day, Celine woke up and decided she wasn’t interesting enough of a person. That’s why she picked a few hobbies up- maybe a few too many. Now she paints, fishes, grows flowers, and has a crush on whatever celebrity she’s last seen on TV. It may not make her deep, but you have to admit it does make her interesting. Did we mention she also has a parrot? If you’d like to make your own cartoon- with just one hobby, perhaps- go ahead and create one right now!

Anything Can Inspire You

Monday, June 15th, 2009

All of us occasionally get “cartooners block” when we’re trying to make an amazing cartoon. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Fortunately, there’s something that you can do about it.

When you’re making a cartoon you, it’s possible to find inspiration everywhere you look. And we mean everywhere. Doesn’t it make sense that the whole world could serve to inspire you. Next time you’re blocked, try looking at:

  • flower petals!
  • seashells!
  • television shows!
  • encyclopedias from the 80s!
And there’s so much more. Once you spark inspiration, you’ll find that you can’t stop making cartoons!

Kendall Has A Lot To Learn

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Today’s Cartoon of the Day is Kendall. Born in rural Uzbekistan, Kendall grew up hearing about high fashion but never seeing it for himself. Now that he’s an adult, he wants to become a part of the fashion world. He’s got a little bit to learn. Still, you have to admit that while his disco track suit might not have “style”, it certainly has something that people will notice. Kendall, you’ve got a lot to learn. Please teach him by making your own animated me.
