With the summer holiday coming, it's a good idea to take up a new hobby. Come on, boys and girls, pick up your pen and get started!

CARTOON DIY GUIDE—Tips about four-frame cartoons

Four-frame cartoons(四格漫画) tell a joke or story. A cartoonist should be humorous. He or she should be able to draw and write stories.

Script

A script is the idea or story of the cartoon. You can write a script by yourself. Put the funniest part in the last frame. If it's at the beginning, readers won't look at the last three frames. If you are a beginner, you may need to find ready jokes or funny stories.

Picture

Avoid drawing two big heads talking in every frame. That's boring. Don't pay too much attention to the picture. The point of a four-frame cartoon is a funny story, not perfect pictures.

Hero

The key of the four-frame cartoon is its heroes. Garfield and Snoopy are examples. You like them, right? To draw your own cartoons, spend time creating the heroes. They can look simple (简单), but have to be finny.

Conversation

Good cartoons don't have too many conversations. People understand them just by pictures. The fewer words a cartoon has, the better. Too many words eat space. Readers have to spend time reading them. Use simple but expressive (有表现力的) words.
