A comprehensive and practical guide to drawing cartoons successfully, shown in more than 1500 illustrations. This detailed instruction course begins with essential techniques from different pen strokes to the various styles of sketching. It includes a wide variety of exercises that will allow the reader to perfect their skills from lessons in anatomy, facial expression and depicting movement to dressing the character, creating dialogue and using backgrounds. The text explains concepts and methods used by cartoonists to help build a scene, develop a narrative and create a wide range of scenarios in which the characters can interact. The book also unravels the complexities of digital manipulation, with illustrative screengrabs and explanations of the methods used, step by step. Filled with projects and exercises to help strengthen key skills such as facial expression, creating a mood, bringing a character to life, caricature, making cartoon strips, using speech bubbles and much more, this book is detailed enough for the cartoonist looking to hone skills, but yet accessible enough for the complete amateur.
