SECTION - A Reading
people smile or laugh ? There are few colleges or schools for cartoonists. Most
cartoonists come from art colleges, while some learn the craft on their own.
Most established cartoonists are of the view that no institute can teach you to
make a cartoon. ‘You can pick up the craft, you may learn to sketch and draw
in institutes, but no one can teach anyone how to make a good cartoon,’ says
Uday Shanker, a cartoonist with Navbharat times newspaper. While basics like
drawing and sketching can be learnt in an art college, and are important skills,
these alone, do not make a good cartoonist. Because it’s a question of one’s
creativity and sense of humour; two qualities one person simply may not have.
The advice the established cartoonists give is that just because you can
sketch, don’t take it for granted that you will become a cartoonist.
