Cartooning for Kids

by Mike Artell

Book Overview

You don't have to be a great artist to be a good cartoonist. Because cartoons are based in humor, not art; the secret to their success is to think funny. In this handy guide, you'll find detailed instructions for creating cartoon people and animals. With a little practice you'll be drawing adults and children, creatures, and more.

Customer Reviews

Cartooning for kids...

My daughter loves this book! At first, she was merely tracing all the pictures. Eventually, she started free-handing it...her drawings look like a pro did them! And she's only 8! I recommend this book highly!

Be a Kid, Be an Artist!

This is a wonderful resource for both kids and adults in my opinion. Very easy to follow techniques and it's not clogged up with needless text. A wonderful gift for the artist in yourself, or for someone you love!

Love this book

My art students (K-8th) love this book. If they have free time left over, they are allowed to pick a book out of the art rack and use it. This book is the number one desire of my kids in class. They make drawing cartoons so easy with the stp-by-step instructions, it's perfect.
