Story Telling Styles

As the name suggests, story-telling styles are drawing styles
that are used to tell stories to the viewer or reader. These stories are told
through interactions between the characters depicted, and the settings shown.


Cartoons

 Cartoons are typically two-dimensional drawings, and are usually
 either non-realistic or semi-realistic. Cartoons are mostly
 intended for satire or humor, and meant for younger audiences.
 Many different cartoonists have many different ways of drawing
 their cartoons. Because of this, no two styles of cartoon are
 identical. This means that there could be hundreds of different
 ways to draw cartoon characters and settings.

Comics

 Comics are like cartoons, but are done in the form of
 image panels placed side-by-side. These panels are often
 accompanied by speech bubbles, captions, and onomatopoeia
 to indicate dialogue, narration, and sound effects.
 These panels then make up comic books, graphic novels
 newspaper comics, and occasionally online webcomics.
Comic Strip

Anime

 Anime is basically a cartoon, but it is easily distinguished
 from any other cartoon. It is usually characterized by
 vibrant colors, distinct visuals, and lively settings.
 Many consider 'anime' as a genre of cartoons. However,
 anime actually means 'animation' in Japanese.
 Most westerners may consider it to just be a Japanese
 cartoon, but it's really just a type of drawing.
