Cartooning, Caricature and Animation Made Easy - Paperback

by Chuck Thorndike (Author)

Written by an experienced teacher of cartooning, this volume combines The Secrets of Cartooning, the author's first and more elementary book, and The Art of Cartooning, his follow-up, in which he answered questions raised by readers of his earlier book. Each volume in this double edition is complete in itself as a series of lessons. The first part focuses on such basics as drawing the head, hands, and clothing; creating expressions; conveying motion; and obtaining shading effects. The second section presents a series of lessons in anatomy, followed by advice about drawing caricatures and detailed instructions for creating images for animated features and political cartoons.
