Do you know how to make a good political cartoon? Has it ever happened that you desperately tried to draw it, but no ideas came to mind? This article will help you create a good political cartoon.

Steps

1. 1 Storm your brain for cartoon ideas; it is important to know the topic you have chosen. Think about the possible ideas that pop into your head that you could implement, and do not neglect them, even if they seem silly to you.
2. 2 Sketch the idea you like the most. Sketch the theme that works best for you.
3. 3 Start translating your idea into a drawing. Draw your cartoon, be patient, and make sure it is clear and meaningful.
4. 4 Make sure the idea is symbolized. If you create a cartoon about two people talking and there is no symbolism in it, then it will not be political. Play with the theme using it.
5. 5 Analyze other political cartoons. Browse other cartoons and see how they use symbolism to create your own style.
6. 6 Don't make them too simple. Make the caricature understandable, but still make the person pay attention to the topic and make the brain work.
7. 7 After finishing the work, look at it again and notice if you need to think about it in order to understand the meaning. Look at it to see if there is an idea in it and if it takes an effort to analyze it.
8. 8 To give the picture life, add colors or shadows.
9. 9 Sign the headline if needed. (Make sure it's creative and symbolic.) If you're going to create a headline, always be creative; for example, "Trail of Tears".
10. 10 Enjoy the process. No depression, enjoy your work!

Tips

• The headline should be creative.
• Enjoy.
• Always put symbolism in a caricature.
• If you are worried about an idea, stop and think only about the idea.
• Be sure to show the cartoon to a friend, make sure it's symbolic enough to make you think.
