If you prefer, you could draw an oval instead, but make the middle noticeably wider than the ends.
Remember that the brain doesn’t need to look realistic since you’re making a simple cartoon drawing.
Your lines can extend in from the outline of the brain or you can make them disconnected from the outline.
You can skip this step if you want your cartoon brain to look more 2-dimensional.
Keep your pencil marks light so you can erase mistakes or go over them with a pen.
If you don’t want to give the brain dimension, you can skip this step.
The area of the bump will be the temporal lobe.
This segment that you blocked off will be the frontal lobe.
You’ll use these faint lines as guidelines so it’s easier to make the brain’s wrinkles.
Remember to go back along the sliver that you drew on top of the brain. Make small curves along this to make the brain appear bumpy.
To make the cerebellum more detailed, you can fill it with thin horizontal lines. Make the lines a little wavy so they look realistic.
For example, use 5 or 6 colors if you’ll be labeling the parts of the brain. The different colors can help the segments stand out.
Frontal lobe Parietal lobe Temporal lobe Occipital lobe Medulla oblongata Cerebellum
