Crayon Shin Chan is the name of the cartoon character who is the main lead of the series. The whole cartoon series mainly revolves around this one character along with other popular character as well. Every episode has a new story built around this character. The entire screenplay, dialogue and the mood of the series is really good and captivating.

Shin Chan is not as innocent as he may seem to be. He often uses rude remarks, impolite language, misbehaves with his mother, teacher and friends. Overall, it can be said that young children might not learn really good things from the cartoon. Shin Chan has become an inspiration for the younger lot, but this inspiration has strong tendencies in creating negative impact on children in many ways.

SC is really enjoyed by adults as well. Moreover, it can be said that it is more of a series that is apt for teenagers as compared to younger children. As mentioned before, Shin Chan indulges in a lot of crude and insane behavior which might not be morally right for children. Teenagers have grown out of the age, so they may not take such an impact as younger children would do.

SC is becoming a role model for children. Children really enjoy the antics and moods created by this character and try to copy his doings as much as they can. However, children below 10 years of age could really be negatively affected by such a cartoon character who displays inappropriate behavior. If children start copying such behavior, such as being rude to their parents, disrespecting other family members or pulling down pants in the classroom, what would become of our kids?

When Shin Chan cartoon series is aired on TV, it is usually stated that it is not meant for children under fourteen just like for adult cartoons like South Park and Simpsons. However, that restriction is hardly far away from limiting the kids’ viewership on television. Shin Chan is indeed popular amongst adults, but children love it too. They are actually too naïve to understand and appreciate the satire and comedy that an adult or perhaps a teenager might enjoy. Kids will however take it in some irrational way and try to model the behavior in some way or the other.

Many people want to learn how to draw and a popular cartooning expertise is how to draw caricatures, how to draw caricature, starts with a love for drawing faces. In the middle of the 19th century with the rise of Newspapers, the negative caricature became popular. They were used often in political cartoons, and for the most part they were either poking fun at the subject or outright demonizing him.

In order to draw a caricature, the first step is to study faces. You need to study as many faces as you possibly can. You need to study them in photographs and you need to study them in real life. You should try to visualize those features that make the face unique. In other words, since you are going to capture the essence by exaggerating certain feature, you need to understand just what the essence is. The basic rule of this stage is that you are going to maximize the features of the face that are maximized in the subject, and minimize the features of the face that are minimized in the in subject. If the subject has small eyes, for instance, and you draw the eyes very large, you may make a cartoon looking image, but you will not have captured the essence. It will also be unidentifiable.

Proper equipment is important, and the next step is to make sure you have what you need. A good place to start when learning is with pencil. Avoid #2 pencils and look for 4B or 5B pencils instead. The 5B pencil makes a thick and black line. The caricature is going to have a certain cartoony look to it, and the thick black lines will help accomplish this. Then draw the subject much as you would a regular portrait, but using bold and exaggerated lines and a minimum of shadowing.

You are going to be maximizing the dominant feature that captures the essence of the subject. You should be able to determine what that is from your study of the face. It could be a large nose, large forehead, or a big smile. It could also be a small ears or a weak chin. Your caricature drawing should reflect this dominant feature. If you are seeking more of a cartoon caricature, merely do a bit more exaggerating of that essential feature. Like any art form, caricature takes practice, and when you feel you have practiced as much as you can, the next step is to practice a little bit more.
