Book Description:
Aspiring cartoonists of all ages can begin drawing a repertoire of characters from the moment they follow the wide-ranging yet simplified lessons that fill these instructive pages, written and illustrated by an all-time best-selling artist/teacher.

This complete course, covering both comic strip and animation techniques, begins with lessons on basic cartoon body shapes and facial features. Included are helpful comparisons between the real versus the cartoon head, a smile chart, and various ways to draw the most popular and expressive cartoon eyes and mouths. Next come lots of typical body poses, how to draw action lines, slow/fast movement, cartoon hands, fun hair and clothing styles, backgrounds, and cute cartoon pets. Excellent directions also focus on helping beginners to find and develop their own cartoon style.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for younger artists
I bought this for my 10 year old. This is a great book. Easily understandable and lots of illustrations of how to. I'm sure he will be able to use this right from the get go.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Really good book!!!
Christopher Hart's books are really good. I had borrowed the one for Comic Strips (How to Draw Cartoons for Comic Strips) and I like that one better, but this one is also good. It has a lot of drawings and it's easy to understand.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - My students love Chris Hart's books!

Chris' simple step-by-step instructions make it easier for kids to understand how to create cartoon characters; many other cartooning books have so many steps that budding artists get frustated and give up. I'll be adding several of Chris' ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not a beginner's book
I bought this book last year, and it's really one of the great ones. However, I don't think it's appropriate for someone who's looking for a "how to draw" book. If you are a beginner, I'd reccomend a good artist's atlas or an art class...
Mr. Hart is not trying to teach you how to draw his characters, but how to perfect your own. I think most of the beginning is just filler; It's weak on form and the instructions are a little confusing. HOWEVER, it's chock full'o goodness in the form of tiny details ... Read More
