Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Cartooning for the Beginner (Christopher Hart Titles)

Book Review: Plenty of drawing concepts and techniques inside one book!
Summary: 5 Stars

I too started cartooning as a hobby(not too far from 29 years of age myself) and have always been frustrated and gave up whenever I attempted to learn because it seemed too hard. This book is excellent! If you aren't worried about "how" to draw the basic shapes and want to know "why" and "what" is needed so that you can practice the "hows", this is the book to be without.

I had immediate results after only practicing for a couple of hours. You have to take the time to practice and use your eraser (can't get lazy). The human mind is fussy with drawings. It's never a challenge to spot badly-looking art, but learning what you did wrong when you finally get it right is what teaches you how to be a good drawer. Practice! Practice! Practice! Your eraser is going to be your best friend, better get used to it. This is the book to have if you want to learn as much as you can about cartooning in the shortest time. The coloured illustrations are fun to learn from as well.

The more advanced parts of the book dealing with more detailed drawings will also be a good transition if you ever want to go into comic book style drawings.
