5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite in the Fifth Grade, 7 Feb 1998
By A Customer
I am a fifth grade teacher and I bought this book for my class. The students just love it! This book is crammed full of really high-energy cartoon images with instructions on how to draw them. Every day, students ask to borrow this book. I have other art and cartoon books in my classroom, but this one is their all-time favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta love the backgroung and props section, 6 Dec 2005
By L. Camacho - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This best seller book (or so the front cover says...) is really one good book. It includes almost everything you need to know about cartooning, from the various head shapes to the body construction, including a section on how to create brand new characters. Inside you will also find an animal construction chart featuring several wild and not so wild animals, including the man.
But what makes this book great is the layout and props section. It's the only book I own and know that explains the cartoon backgrounds and how the others interpret what you've drawn. But this book goes further by explaining the various special effects used in cartooning and even has in the end a section about colors! It's a must for anyone interested in cartooning!
But of course there are no perfect books and this one has two major faults. The first one is the lack of construction steps, most of the drawings, especially in the second half of the book, are just given and don't include any construction steps. The second one is the lack of info on perspective, this is choice by the author since he states in the introduction "Wondering how to draw backgrounds without struggling with perspective? That's in here too." but still a fault in my opinion, of course opinions diverge but it's still a 5 stars book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Buy, 18 Aug 2009
By Socrates Smith (Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews
I bought this book beacuse I wanted to learn how to draw some simple cartoons that I could use in my teaching at University. The book provided just what I needed. It's very simple and straightforward with a good range of styles on show. There is not too much in the way of construction techniques especially in the latter part of the book but it certainly is a very good place to start if you are a beginner like me. And yes, I did draw those cartoons and use them with my students.
