Learn to Draw Cartoons: The World's Easiest Cartooning Book Ever! (Drawing with Christopher Hart)

Brilliant book. Just started drawing and thought I would start with something easy. Even for a middle aged man. The step by step guide to each of the drawings are brilliant and by the end you feel a real sense of accomplishment. I've just bought the advanced cartoons book from the same author. Excellent for beginners and would be a great present for children.

Perfect step by step guidance for less confident artists

Yes, very instructive

I wouldn't say this book is for complete beginners or young children e.g it shows how to use guide lines to get the relative position of eyes / mouth etc and I assume you should do this with a light pencil then erase them after redrawing with pen at a later stage but this process is never mentioned? That said my 7 year old loves it and has done some nice pictures so I would definitely recommend it

Bought for my neice who has an interest in drawing, love the new style of drawing. Too many of these books are outdated illustration styles

Great for beginners. Easy to follow. Draw each of the lessons and you'll be good at drawing cartoon characters by the time you finish this book. Highly recommended. The best Hart book I've come across yet.

excellent

Comprei o Livro para treinar mais meus traços cartoons, os exercícios são muito bons e as artes do artista é incrível! O Livro está em ENGLISH mas é bem facil de entender as explicações ou qualquer coisa só correr num tradutor rapidinho... Super indico galera!

First of all I should mention that I'm not a beginner. I've been a freelance artist/illustrator and editoral cartoonist for decades. So why do I have this book on my shelves? Because making art is like playing a piano; you need to practice every day. Sometimes I get tired of hauling practice subjects out of my own head, and that's when I reach for one of Christopher Hart's books. Doing two or three of the practice exercises following his instructions, and then repeating them using my own skills is just the thing to keep my hand and eye sharp and my imagination loose. That said, I can wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone who is beginning to draw cartoons, or who is interested in sharpening skills and learning good stuff about cartooning. The characters are appealing, the technique is very good for those wanting to get their brain in gear for cartooning, and the number of tips in this book is astonishing. I wish I'd had it when I was starting out, because many of the technical points Mr. Hart shares are things that took me a long time to figure out for myself (no, I didn't go to art school). The book contains not only cartoon figures, but some "normal" human bodies, and there are wonderful tips on proportions and making a figure look natural. Helpful tips and hints are included alongside all the drawings, often at every stage of the art, so it's a good idea to work through this slowly and absorb all the information, if you're a beginner. I also enjoyed the hints on drawing cartoon animals; the examples are simple and yet very funny and each one conveys character. All in all, a good book for anyone wanting to learn cartooning skills or sharpen their techniques.

This is a great book with so many simple drawing lessons. I have learnt so much from it and it stays on my art desk for quick referrals.

C est un livre facile à lire et à faire du dessin.

It is just an amazing Book for beginners. Highly recommended. Don't see the price just go for it. You will never disappointed if you buy. Quality of paper/pages are fantastic. Worth buy for beginners.
