How to make any drawing funny
Give it a job. An animal or object doing something people do is funny right away.
Mix two things. Put a part of one thing on another, like wings on an elephant.
Make it the wrong size. A huge cat in a tiny box or a tiny spider scaring a ghost.
Show the feeling. Big eyes, sweat drops and motion lines make the joke clear.
Keep it simple. One joke per drawing is enough.
Your turn: the practice page
The practice page has six empty boxes with a light dot grid. Pick six ideas from this page, draw one in each box and write its name on the line.

Tips for funny drawings
Draw the main character first, then add the prop or the second thing.
Exaggerate: make the scarf longer, the eyes bigger and the box smaller.
Add little lines for movement, shaking or sparkles.
Give your drawing a title on the back; it makes the joke even better.
