To me, its kind of like "Anime is cartoon but not all cartoons are anime"

:shrug: I do cartoons but not anime....I can't draw anime and I dont want to :XD: Though I do like some animes.

"Anime" is what Japanese call animated cartoons in general, regardless of country of origin.
"Anime" is what we westerners call a cartoon that has either originated in Japan, or is visually resembling cartoons originated in Japan but is made elsewhere. For example Technotise: Edit & I is made in Serbia, but people call it "anime" because the style has been influenced by Japanese cartoons.

In short, anime is a cartoon.

'Cartoon' is a broad term for comically exaggerating the human features. 'Anime' is a term used to describe a certain look of exaggerating human features. They're both "cartoons" in a sense, one just brings about thoughts of a certain look :thumbsup: You improve on both by exploring realistic human proportions, and learning how to distort them slowly :)

None. They do have one similarity though: THEY'RE NOT STYLES

It doesn't really mater if there is a difference between them--when it comes to improving, the basis of improving ANY stylized form of art (be that western cartoon style or anime) is to draw from life and improve your proportions and anatomy. Once you practice that, you'll find drawing in any style much easier! :D

They're both heavily stylized and use lineart. One is from the West, one is from the East. They're two flavors of the same thing :)

I think cartoon is more of a simple style like: simpsons, garfield, catdog, etc

while anime is more..... Japanese style.... like: naruto, inuyasha, dragonballZ etc
