From the Author
Just thought I would like to say hello to all you budding cartoonists who are thinking of buying my first book (the second is on the way).
I wrote The Cartoonist's Workbook with two goals in mind. Firstly I wanted to write the book that I could never find when I was starting out. Secondly I wanted to have a book that I could even make use of MYSELF. For this reasons I included hundreds of reference drawings, poses and gag situations that I really DO still refer to from time to time.
More importantly, however, I devised a foolproof method for coming up with gags which I guarantee you - CANNOT fail, even if you have a severe case of writer's block!
The Cartoonist's Workbook was a labour of love for me. If you follow it carefully and put in the practise, I assure you, it WILL help you evolve as a cartoonist. I have received hundreds of letters by delighted readers from all around the world. If you buy the book drop me a line at Robin@cartoon.sol.co.uk - i'd love to hear from you.
Good luck with your career in cartooning.
