How to Draw A Cartoon Brain

This tutorial will show you how to draw a cartoon brain! Perhaps the most important part of the human body, the brain is still a great mystery for every scientist of the world. 

It is so complex that even in 300 years, chances are that it will remain a great enigma to mankind. Fortunately, drawing a nice looking brain is not as complex as this body part itself! Let's start this tutorial right now!

Step 1

First, draw a large circle to illustrate the cerebellum. Don't worry, it is much smaller in real life. But I've decided to create a bigger one in this tutorial to make our illustration clearer and easier to read (That's the beauty of cartoons! You can do whatever you want!).

Step 2

Next, sketch two rectangles to form each side of the brain. Notice that the top is narrower and slightly incline towards the inside the drawing.

Step 3

Now try to refine the outline of your brain. Make the bottom flat and the top more pointed (but not too much, just a little).

Step 4

Add some lines inside the brain to create the illusion of paths. Use some short and curved lines over longer and straight ones.

Step 5

You can add some shadows (displayed in grey here) to give more appeal to your artwork!

Step 6

Just add some colors (a skin tone will be fine) and you are done! Drawing a nice looking brain isn't too difficult! You just need to create a nice outline and add some curved lines inside each side for a killer effect!

If you feel like it, you can also try to draw the vertebral column under your brain! That could be a nice subject for a future lesson! Enjoy!
