2. WHAT IS EDITORIAL
CARTOONING?
It is the process of drawing or sketching
pictorial caricatures of a person or object
in order to inform, influence, argue,
criticize, praise and interpret a certain
event or to entertain.

3. Cartoon is derived from two words :
caricature and lampoon.
Caricature is an exaggerated description, generally, by
sketching. It is done in super-likeness manner using scale and
distortion to suggest the artist’s feeling toward the subject. It
is a pictorial representation of a person or an object in which
the defects or peculiarities are exaggerated so as to produce
an amusing effect.
Lampoon is a piece a harsh satire usually directed against an
individual.

SOMETHING FUNNY OR HILARIOUS.

6. ELEMENTS OF CARTOONING
It is to be remembered that the elements of an editorial
article apply also to editorial cartoon, that is, the idea
should be a reaction to a news item. The reaction could
be a simple information, an interpretation or a form of
entertainment. In this manner, the cartoonist, while he
is focused on the idea, must also take into
consideration the cartoon itself through the following:

7. 1. COMPOSITION - IT IS THE ARRANGEMENT OF ALL THE
ELEMENTS OF A GOOD DRAWING TO PRODUCE THE DESIRED
FORM AND SPECIFICATIONS. ( I.E., LINES, SHADES,
EXAGGERATIONS, ETC.)

8. LINES- SERVE AS THE STARTING POINT OF A CARTOON. A
CARTOONIST NEEDS TO DRAW LINES TO MAKE SOME OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT SHAPES. SOME OF THE LINES AT THE START
OF THE DRAWING MIGHT BE LIGHT WHILE OTHER LINES ARE
PRESSURED AND PRECISE.

9. TONE- WHEN YOU ARRANGE YOUR SUBJECTS, CONSIDER AND
PLAY AROUND THE LIGHTING. ALWAYS MAKE IT A HABIT TO
DETERMINE WHERE THE LIGHT IS COMING FROM TO MAKE THE
SUBJECT’S ANGLE CORRECT.

10. PERSPECTIVE- IS SOMETHING YOU CAN USE TO LEAD THE
EYE TO A FOCAL POINT IN THE DRAWING.

11. FOCAL POINTS- THIS IS A PART OF THE DRAWING THAT
THE VIEWER’S EYE IS LED TOWARDS.

12. 2. BALANCE - IT IS THE STABILITY PRODUCE BY EVEN DISTRIBUTION
OF THOSE ELEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE WHOLE. THIS IS DONE
THROUGH CONTRASTING, OPPOSING, AND INTERACTING ELEMENTS.

13. 3. UNITY - IT IS A CONDITION OF HARMONY. IT IS ALSO THE
RESULTING SINGLENESS OF EFFECT OR SYMMETRY AND
CONSISTENCY OF STYLE AND CHARACTER.

14. ELEMENTS OF A GOOD EDITORIAL CARTOON
Good editorial cartoons do more than just break up the gray
areas of a newspaper.
They should:
Offer insight, influence and change beliefs.
Spark discussion, give life to ideas and provoke thought.
Express the artist’s ideas and thoughts without requiring a lot of
explanations.
Be able to stand on its own and be more than a mere graphic
depiction of the editorials it shares the page with.
Dwell on subject matters which are current and very relevant to
the readers and what they are thinking.

15. TIPS FOR EDITORIAL CARTOONING
1. Be most concerned with the originality and clarity of your
cartoon’s ideas.
2. Select news stories of major continuing interest. The idea
must be done in good taste and should ‘say’ something.
3. Study some professionally drawn editorial cartoons closely
before trying to create one of your own. Remember, study
them, but don’t copy them
4. Don’t clutter your cartoon with too many different ideas.
Decide on single point you want to make.

16. 5. Use symbols which are universal, something the intended audience
understand.
Examples :
Peace, freedom - dove
Education - torch, open book
Greed - crocodile
Success, victory - laurel, medal
Justice - balance
6. Visualize the idea. Limit the use of words and labels to the minimum.
7. Get the readers involved and avoid libelous ideas and insinuations.
