The retro cartoon dad is one of the most iconic character types that has stood the test of time. This video shows you how a few small details can turn a drawing of regular guy into a completely clueless, cartoon mainstay. Floating the eyes inside the glasses while raising the eyebrows above the frames gives the character a perplexed and confused expression. While the flat hair and tie help to indicate that earnest appeal that all retro cartoon dads must have.
Check out my book “Cartoon Cool”, which has tons of retro cartooning tutorials at http://www.chrishartbooks.com/cartoon04.html

Liked and subbed. I used it for a school journal entry question on what I
think is the person’s personality and physical appearance. I hope the
teacher likes it cuz she’s so stern.
looks great ^^ but :p is it just me.. or does the part that connects the
glasses in the middle over the nose go missing? :p
This is so cool and mine turned out great thanks 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Art school is an excellent idea. If I were you, I would look over the
courses offered and the teachers’ credentials at several of them, to
familiarize yourself with what is out there.’
