[Toffee.]

Note: This will be quite large, Considering it has images to help you out even more.

 

Yay! First Tutorial!

(Please dont rag on me if my spelling/grammer is terrible)

 

Now look.. You have seen some of the card art I made, Like my Ms.Paint cards for example. Well I made them on Ms.Paint(kinda obveious...), And I'll show/tell you how I do it. So you can make easy card images aswell =D

 

First off, Lets start with something easy. In this case, A Toaster.

Here is an example image:

I call him Toasterbot :3

 

Now allthough it might seem complicated to make, Its actually really easy.

 

Body:

You see, If you break it down, Its just a bunch of shapes:

 

Right?

Well lets start off with the body.

The body is just a simple square shape:

 

Now, You want to copy the square, And pase it on the origional, and just dispace it a little bit:

 

Next, You want to connect the edges using the 'Line' tool.

While your at it, You want to add the 'chambers'(?) for the toast:

 

Thare, Now the body is complete! =D

 

Arm:

Now look, We all know that curved edges tend to be a pain now and then, right? Well look at this:

Yes, The arm is actually 2 circles pasted ontop of eachother :O

 

Now if you look closely, You have an ideal arm shape!

You just have to cut it out first:

 

And finally, For the Hand, You just make a sall circle and a 2nd small/thin circle. Just copy and paste:

 

But dont attach the hand to the body just yet!

 

Construction:

By now, Your image should look like this:

 

For a pair of eyes, Just make then anime-esque.

You know, A small circle with a smaller circle inside of it, Then yet another small circle inside that one to show light reflection.

Example:

 

Now for a mouth, You just take that same circle cut out that you used for the arm, And just cover up the 1 end. After that, Just put little +s in the mouth. Look, Its an easy way to make teath, And it makes them look cool:

 

By now, Your 'doodle' should look like this:

Yes, You can stick the arm, eyes, and mouth on it, and even color it

 

Touch-Up:

Look, Its not mutch of a toaster unless you stick toast in it.

So do this.

Just make a square-ish shape, and color it orange:

 

Simply cut the shape in half, copy it, and paste it in each of the 'chambers':

 

Now, For a little fun!

For mine, I made one of those wind-up gear thingys and made 2 simple feet:

Why? Because mine is a Toaster-Bot

But, Since your the artist, Your free to make what ever you want.

 

And when your finished, It should look something like this:

 

And thare you have it!

I simple way to make cartoonish charactors for use on your yugioh cards! =D

 

By the way.. Feal free to post YOUR cartoonish charactors here that were made with this Tutorial, So you can compare them with Toasterbot =D

I still think MS paint is crap, but this is impressive nonetheless. You obviously know what you're doing, drawing-wise.
