Hey there, fellow cartoon enthusiasts and artists!

Have you ever found yourself unable to finish personal projects due to your perfectionist tendencies? Well, fear not, because you're not alone! As an artist, I've faced this challenge many times, but I've finally found a solution - the #80stoon campaign.

Inspired by the "Design 100 Somethings" video by Jake Parker, I decided to draw 80's cartoons as a way to combat my perfectionism and finish what I start. And let me tell you, the feeling of accomplishment that came with finishing each piece was incredible!

One of the reasons I chose 80's cartoons was because they were a huge part of my childhood, and the nostalgia they brought back made the process all the more enjoyable. If you're struggling to find inspiration for your own art, I highly recommend tapping into your passions and drawing what you love.

But here's a little secret - not every piece of art you create will be perfect, and that's okay! In fact, striving for perfection can often hold us back from sharing our work with others. The #80stoon campaign taught me to let go of my perfectionism and embrace imperfection. It takes courage to put your art out there, even if it's not exactly what you envisioned, but it's a necessary step towards growth and improvement as an artist.

Now, if you're thinking of taking on a similar challenge, here are a few tips for drawing cartoons:

• Practice drawing basic shapes and forms to get the hang of proportions and perspective.

• Pay attention to facial expressions and body language - they can make or break a cartoon character's personality.

• Experiment with different styles and techniques to find your own unique style.

• Don't be afraid to take inspiration from other artists, but make sure to put your own spin on things.

• And most importantly, have fun with it! Drawing cartoons should be enjoyable and a way to express your creativity.

In fact, the success of the #80stoon campaign led to the creation of the JuneToon yearly challenge, where artists are encouraged to draw one cartoon character every day during the month of June. This challenge is a fantastic way to continue practicing your cartooning skills and challenge yourself to create something new every day.

The JuneToon challenge has become a popular event in the artist community, and many artists look forward to participating each year. So, if you're looking for a new challenge to take on and continue your growth as an artist, the JuneToon challenge might just be the perfect opportunity for you!

So, fellow artists, I encourage you to take on a challenge that pushes you out of your comfort zone and helps you grow as an artist. And who knows, you may just inspire others to do the same!
