Synopsis

The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Cartooning will teach readers how to draw every kind of cartoon imaginable-from the simplest comic cartoons to elaborate animation figures. Off course, like any Complete Idiot's Guide®, the book will cover all of the tools readers will need to get started, as well as those that they may use once they get past the basics. But this book won't stop with giving readers what they need to render their cartoons, but will show them how to bring life to their figures by introducing them to stylistic elements of the various genres of cartooning-comic strips, gag cartoons, animation, and editorial cartoons.
