Emmett Scott has been teaching cartooning to kids for many years, and in his terrific online lessons he shares this secret: "Simply enough, the secret to cartooning is EMOTION. Showing emotion in a cartoon face is the key to giving characters personality. Think of many of the famous cartoon characters and you can easily recall some emotions they have expressed. The way a cartoonist shows emotion
. is with the FOUR basic features of the face: they are the EYES, EYEBROWS, EYELIDS, and MOUTH. The nose and ears and chin and hair and cheeks are very nice to look at. However, they don't show the reader emotions like the four basic facial features do."
