This book by Christopher Hart is a great book for anyone who wants to be a cartoonist, or is interested in drawing cartoons. It provides great illustrations as well as adequate descriptions of step by step guides for drawing cartoons. It gives great help on learning to draw cartoon people, including all the features of them, such as the face, eyes, noses, hair, mouths, bodies, hands, legs, and feet. It also gives details about body language, action lines, as well as animals and helpful comic strip layouts and tips. Overall, it is a great book, and I recommend it to anyone interested in cartooning.
