Cartoony Comic Art Fun for Everyone!
By Chris Dunmire
 Can't draw your way out a paper bag? Me too! Well, at least I used to be that way until I invented my own comic in 2002 named Nit Wits to give me a fun place to play with and practice my creative drawing skills.
If you're new to the world of drawing, using a simple cartoon-style approach of rendering is one way to teach yourself how to draw by focusing on the essence of a subject. My Nit Witty drawing lessons use line, shape, and other basic elements to form fun objects that are a joy to draw.
Come join me as I share my learnin' how to draw discoveries through these cartoony drawing lessons that will encourage your creativity. These lessons are designed to be motivating and fun. There's no one right way of doing them; if your drawing looks different from mine, that's good! Why? Because each of us has a unique way of interpreting the world and expressing ourselves. You don't want to become a creative copycat. Discover your own style and celebrate your unique way of expressing yourself.
