- A cartoonist is a person who specializes in drawing cartoons.
- The term can also be applied to those who produce comic books, manga, editorial cartoons, as well as comic strip creators and, rarely, those working in animation.
- A cartoonist traditionally sketches the picture out roughly in pencil first, before going over the sketches in black ink, using either brushes or metal nibbed pens. Cartoonists whose work is intended for online publication increasingly work in digital media.
- Large comic book publishers utilize teams of cartoonists to produce the art (typically one doing the pencil work and another doing the inking, with the coloring added digitally by colorists).
- When a consistent artistic style is wanted among different cartoonists character model sheets may be used as reference.
- Cartoonists will conceive and develop ideas for cartoons, using illustrations and words (if appropriate) and prepare rough or finished drawings.
- Usually they will submit designs to editors for approval and prepare notes and instructions for finishing and layout · supervise final layout and suggest improvements
