Product Description

There is an entirely new look in comics and animation today, characterized by ultra-cartoon-y, retro, and highly stylised drawing style. This is the new face of cartooning as seen in such popular TV shows as Sponge-Bob Squarepants, Dexter's Lab, Kim Possible, and The Fairly Odd Parents. Millions of fans of these popular TV shows watch them avidly, often solely for their zingy, stylised look and hip visual jokes. Now there's a drawing book just right for everyone who admires that quirky style, CARTOON COOL. Top-selling author Christopher Hart shows beginning cartoonists, retro fans, and all other hipsters how to get that almost-1950s look in their drawings. His trademark step-by-step drawings and crystal-clear text are sure to make Saturday mornings more creative!

About the Author

Christopher Hart is the world's best-selling author of cartoon and drawing titles, with more than two million books sold. His books have been translated into 17 languages.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much goes into it., 25 Sep 2009

By	TG (UK) - See all my reviews

I have a few How to Draw books and this is one of my favourites.I thought the Retro Style would mean less work on the drawing front. While that seems true Christopher Hart shows there so much more in creating figures in that style. Straight lines instead of curves, necks vs no necks etc... even down to hair styles. Also covers how specific poses look in retro-style.
As always there is some overlap in the books: How to Draw Anime/Manage, Cartooning for the Beginner etc but this seems to have most covered.
