Cartooning is the art of creating illustrations that often use humor or satire to convey a message or tell a story. It typically involves drawing characters, scenes, and situations in a simplified or exaggerated style. Cartoonists may work in various formats, including comic strips, editorial cartoons, and animated cartoons. The process of cartooning can include sketching, inking, and coloring. Cartoonists often use tools like pencils, pens, and digital software to bring their ideas to life. Famous cartoonists, such as Charles Schulz and Matt Groening, have made significant contributions to the field, influencing both popular culture and the art of storytelling.
