1.0 out of 5 stars About the lowest quality book you can find on the subject, 6 Nov 2003

By	"jonnythunder" - See all my reviews

I was thoroughly disappointed when this book arrived. It took me no time at all to read because there wasn't that much content. And although I only really bought this book as a cheap impulse buy at �2 or so (whilst buying other charicature books), I still felt like I'd been cheated!

Although the book shows some basic principles of drawing figures, it doesn't explain much about anything else. It resembles a kids dot-2-dot book, and provides about as much stimulation.

It's only saving grace was the low price, and even that wasn't a complete comfort!

4.0 out of 5 stars How to Draw Like I Always Wanted, 12 Dec 2002

By	Ben Saunders (Oxford) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I was a kid I wished I could draw cartoons and caricatures. It's probably too late now, but I couldn't resist buying this at such a bargain price.

Filled with plenty of illustrations, it's easy enough to flick through in an evening. Starting with the basics (drawing bodies, hands, feet etc based on simple guidelines) it eventually leads up to caricaturing famous people - illustrating the practice with Prince Charles, sports stars, Basil Fawlty and the like (already slightly out of date for including William Hague as leader of the Conservatives, but they're all still people I knew). You're supposed to do exercises at the end of each chapter, which I never really tried (I'm resigned to a 'can't do' attitude).

My only complaint would be the pictures it talks about are often on different pages from what it's actually saying, so you can't always see the illustration as you read. Generally though a good guide to drawing, that should be very helpful for budding cartoonists. And at [the price] you can't go far wrong anyway!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great buy!, 2 April 2006

By A Customer

I got this book for my little brother and he loves it! It was the best bargin i've got in years. He's learnt so much from it and i'd recomend it to anyone whose kids love drawing because its a real good way of getting your kid to just sit down quietly and get on with something they enjoy. Easy peasy instructions and great layout on each page. Really glad i bought this book!
