9. Distortion


Cartoons in general are good examples of distortion, considering that the nature of cartooning is to stray from highly realistic representation of subject matter. This panel from Homestuck is a nice example of distortion, as the character's proportions and figure are obviously not realistic. For example, her torso and her visible arm are both rather thin. However, the subject is still recognizable.
