Lesson #9: How to Draw a Cartoony Ant

. . . but not ants in your pants!

By Chris Dunmire, Antsy Comic Artist

Are you a little antsy? Cartoony ants are easy to draw if you see them as simple lines and shapes, as I did in Nit Wits #17 ("Antagonizing Ants"). After you draw the outline of the ant, color it black or red to look like a real ant.

Learn how to draw your own ant (or ants) by following my cartoony drawing lesson below (and don't draw any ants in your pants!). You can also learn how to draw that agonizing band-aid strip you see in the Nit Wits comic in my cartoony Bandage Strip lesson.

Now wasn't that just the bees knees?
Wait — there's more! This sample fun cartoony lesson is published in my printable playbook, You Can Draw Cartoony Things! A Creative Drawing Book for Everyone. If you'd like to use my creativity-inspiring cartoony lessons for classroom projects or workshop exercises, please purchase and download the high-quality print-a-page e-book, which is dirt-cheap and formatted especially for printing and teaching purposes.
