Something to Draw About: Enter the First Annual Cartoonist Contest of MakeBeliefsComix.com

Many of you have asked for new cartoon characters for MakeBeliefsComix.com.   So, how about sending us your ideas for new ones? We’d love to see your drawings of the characters you have created. (If you can’t draw, you can send in your written ideas, too.) Draw a character who you think is missing from our diverse cast of characters. They can be superheroes, evil-doers, animal types, historic figures, people who look like you and your friends, figments of your imagination. Each of the existing characters on our site are shown in four ways with different emotions – happy, sad, angry, worried – so please submit four versions of each character whom you create showing these emotions. If you give us permission with your submission, we’ll post the best of the cartoons on our Gallery page. And, if things go well and we have your approval, we’ll consider adding a version of your character to our permanent cast of characters. Send PDFs of your artwork, as well as written text, to billz@makebeliefscomix.com, or mail to: Bill Zimmerman, MakeBeliefsComix, 201 West 77 Street, New York, NY 10024.
