Hi Kids!
Welcome to The Junior Cartoonist.
Lots of kids would love to be a cartoonist and here's exactly where you can learn how to draw.
The Junior Cartoonist has special features for kids to download. It's dead set easy to do.
It's a PDF file which means your computer should be able to handle it. It may take a short while but be patient coz it's worth it. If your PC can't do it, it means you need this thing called Acrobat in your programming.
Just visit www.adobe.com/acrobat to get it for free and then you can start being a real cartoonist!
You can print these out and keep it to do puzzles, activities and learn how to draw.
Also this year the National Museum of Australia in Canberra is running a national cartooning competition for upper primary and secondary school students. Check it out! http://www.nma.gov.au/education/events_and_activities/drawing_the_lines_2008/
