Okay, so I wanted to make a “witchcraft cartoon” thing, and I gotta tell you, it was a bit of a ride. I started with basically zero drawing skills, just a vague idea in my head.
Brainstorming and Scribbles
First, I grabbed a piece of paper and just started doodling. I knew I wanted a witch, obviously, but what kind? Cute? Spooky? I ended up sketching a few different styles, mostly stick figures, to be honest. Nothing fancy, just trying to get the general vibe down.
Finding References and Inspiration
Then, I spent some time browsing around, looking at other cartoons and witchy art. Just to see what’s out there, and kinda figure out what I liked. I wasn’t trying to copy anything, more like get my brain going.
The First Attempt (It Was Rough)
Armed with my doodles and some inspiration, I tried to draw something a little more… finished. I picked my favorite stick figure witch and started to flesh her out. It was… well, it was pretty bad. The proportions were all weird, the lines were shaky, and she looked more like a melted blob than a witch. But hey, gotta start somewhere, right?
Practice, Practice, Practice
So, I didn’t give up. I kept drawing. I filled pages with wonky witches, trying different poses, different outfits, different facial expressions. I even tried drawing some cats, ’cause every good witch needs a familiar, am I right?
- Drew a bunch of witch hats.
- Tried drawing some bubbly potions.
- Even attempted a spooky forest background (it looked like scribbles).
The Breakthrough (Sort Of)
After a while, things started to click a little. My lines got a bit smoother, the proportions got a little less crazy, and my witch actually started to look like a witch! It wasn’t perfect, not by a long shot, but it was progress.
The Final Cartoon
Finally, I put together a scene. My witch, looking much better than her melted-blob ancestor, was stirring a cauldron with a mischievous grin. A black cat sat nearby, watching with glowing eyes. I even managed a simple background with some wonky trees and a crescent moon.
It’s not going to win any awards, that’s for sure. But I made it! And it was fun, even when it was frustrating. The whole process taught me that even if you’re starting from zero, you can create something you’re kinda proud of with enough practice and stubbornness.
