Format:Paperback
This is a great book! I've seen loads of other cartooning books but they're like the Rolf Harris school of 'how to draw'. This book is for people who can already draw, and by draw I mean have a style - No one ever said Picaso had any life drawing skills but he sells a shed loads of paintings.
My point is that this is the only book I've ever found that is a real book on how to go about cartooning. It's really practical, with real-life case-studies, advice from professionals and warning! tips, but it's also dead funny. It demonstrates that if you're funny and professional about it, you can suceed.
Check out my favourite cartoon on page 95!
