5.0 out of 5 stars As good as it gets!, 6 Nov 2003

By	"jonnythunder" - See all my reviews

Being someone who is just starting out in the world of charicature, it was a pleasant surprise to find something like this on the market which gives you basic outline to the drawing process for charicature. It covers everything from basic head shapes through to expression and positioning.

I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone starting out. You'll need a little drawing skill before you start, but it will quickly fill in the rest of the gaps.

Good book and well worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good start!, 24 Oct 2008

By	J. Sammers (North West London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got a fair bit out of this book and successfully pulled off a few paid gigs thanks to it and a free online course (that was a little more practical to be fair). I was looking to draw caricatures live, which is 5 minutes per drawing. This book isn't targeted at that audience so is reviewed with that in mind.
It's not the greatest book and one person's style, but does give you enough to start you off in drawing good caricatures and developing your own style. I used this in conjunction with some good online courses and do recommend it as a resource, even if live caricatures aren't your thing.
