Use the video and step-by-step drawing instructions below to learn how to draw Eric Cartman from South Park. A new cartoon drawing tutorial is uploaded every week, so stay tooned!

Intro: Start drawing Eric Cartman with a pencil sketch. In the beginning stages, don't press down too hard. Use light, smooth strokes for sketching.

Step 1: To draw Eric Cartman, start by drawing an oval in the middle of the page. This will be the basic shape for Eric Cartman's head. Draw a curved line on the left side of his head and another on his right side. Connect the two with a horizontal line at the bottom. This will be the basic shape for Eric Cartman's body.

Step 2: Next, draw a vertical line that intersects the oval and the body shape in half. Draw a horizontal line inside Eric Cartman's head near the top that curves and follows the shape of his head. Draw another horizontal line inside the shape of his body near the bottom. Make this one curve upward. These will be construction lines that will help you place Cartman's features later on.

Step 3: Now draw two ovals directly below the head's horizontal construction line and on either side of the vertical construction line. Don't draw the ovals upright but tilt them in toward the cross formed by the construction lines.

Step 4: Below Eric Cartman's eyes, close to the bottom of the head, draw a small line that curves downward. This is Eric Cartman's mouth. Draw two circles on either side of his body, which will be his hands.
