Format:Paperback
On the whole I thought that this was a very good introduction to the geometric approach of drawing cartoons. The example illustrations are very professional and provide plenty of motivation for the reader to improve his/her skills. If there is one criticism, it is that the sections on drawing animals could do with slightly more instructive detail, but this is a very minor point and the book has definitely earnt its place on my studio bookshelf.

I've read a lot of "how to draw cartoons" books, and all of Christopher Hart's books rank very high. This book is the best place to start, covering the basics of figures, placement within panels, and other technical jiggery-pokery. This book leads naturally to his more detailed work, "Drawing on the Funny Side of the Brain."

I work with children in a hospital environment and art work is a big part of the recovery process. I am a basic drawer but with this book I feel more confident to try more challenging things. I now own 3 of Christopher Harts books and plan to collect more as time goes on

Good Descriptive Cartooning
This book uses very descriptive forms of body language to liven up cartoons. I enjoyed the simple format and the direct message.
