Has a lot of good info and things to consider when character designing and making panels.
I bought it used for 8-12 euro (can't remember).
Well worth it.
But I wouldn't pay more, as one can get Scott McClouds books making comics and understanding comics for a bit more and those are better bang for the buck, in my opinion.
Still a good book though!

A great book on cartooning and humor. But, one important/shocking learning from this book is difference between art and craft.

من فترة طويلة لم اقرأ كتابًا باللغة الإنجليزية ، وبما أني مهتمة هذه الأيام برسم الكاريكاتير وتعلم نظم الشعر ، فكانت غالبية قراءاتي مؤخرًا في هذين المجالين.

للأمانة لم أركز كثيرًا على الشرح المطول ، بل اقتصرت قراءتي على العناوين ورؤوس الأقلام ، وكان جل تركيزي واهتمامي على الرسومات نفسها والكاراكترز أي الشخصيات وطريقة رسمها، بالإضافة إلى تعابير الوجه المختلفة وحركة الجسد.

حاولت تقليد الرسومات ونجحت في رسم الكثير منها ، وإن شاء الله استفيد من هذا الكتاب في محاولاتي البسيطة في تعلم الرسم الكاريكاتوري

حاولت تقليد الرسومات ونجحت في رسم الكثير منها ، وإن شاء الله استفيد من هذا الكتاب في محاولاتي البسيطة في تعلم الرسم الكاريكاتوري وصنع شخصيات كرتونية مختلفة وذات نكهة فلسطينية قد تصلح لبعض أفكاري المتعلقة بفن الكاريكاتير.

أتمنى أن أجد الوقت الكافي لتكرار تجربة الرسم الكاريكاتوري مرة أخرى.

هنـــــــــــــــــــــا ، تجدون بعض من رسوماتي القديمة (البدائية) ، أتمنى أن تعجبكم.

This was a very helpful book on how to draw cartoons and comic strips. It took me a while to read but it was worth it. I can now draw really funny cartoons! It helps on designing characters, coming up with jokes, how to make a strip visually funny, and how to arrange comic strip panels. It also shows the difference between a funny picture and one that's not and why. This book has helped me in so many ways. This was a very helpful book on how to draw cartoons and comic strips.

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

I started drawing character designs for a small animation studio in San Diego, California, when I was still in High School in Los Angeles. I used to drive 136 miles, each way, on the weekends, when I was 16, just for the opportunity to get paid to draw. Cartooning was a magical experience to me.

I graduated from High School, and attended the character animation program at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California. At Cal-Arts, we had to do a lot of intense animation, which I found tedious. I was more interested in character design, and story, rather than drawing twelve poses to create one second of movement. It wasn't for me.

So I left and enrolled in, and graduating from, New York University. The social scene at Valencia consisted of a sandwich shop, where you could buy a magazine, if you got there early enough. New York city had slightly more to offer.

After I graduated, I worked as a staff writer on several NBC prime-time, comedy-variety television shows. I also wrote for 20th Century Fox, MGM-Pathe', The Showtime Cable TV Network and Paramount Pictures. But then the Writer's Guild went on strike. Writers in Hollywood weren't allowed to work for TV or the screen. So I went back to my cartooning roots. And I began writing for the Blondie comic strip, and began contributing regularly to Mad Magazine, and did some cartooning for magazines.

My cartoon work got noticed by Watson-Guptill, a premier publisher of art books. They asked me to do a book for them on drawing cartoons. They had never done that before. The result was 'How to Draw Cartoons for Comic Strips,' and it sold briskly. They asked me to do another, and then another. Well, I've sold over 3 million books domestically since then, have 19 translations, and I'm still at it.

My book, 'Manga Mania: How to Draw Japanese Comics,' quickly became the number one selling art book in the country (source: Bookscan). It is also the winner of the prestigious New Jersey Library Association's Garden State Teen Book Award for 2004 in the category of nonfiction for grades 6-12.

The Young Adult Library Services Association selected two of my books for their prestigious "2003 Quick Picks for Young Adults." Those titles are: "Anime Mania: How to Draw Characters for Japanese Animation" and "Mecha Mania: How to Draw the Battling Robots, Cool Spaceships, and Military Vehicles of Japanese Comics." my title, 'Manga Mania: How to Draw Japanese Comics,' was selected for 2002.

The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) chose my book, 'Drawing Faeries: A Believer's Guide,' for their 2004 'Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults' reading list. The 'Children of the New Earth' online magazine awarded the book its 'CNE seal of Excellence.'

My book, "Manhwa Mania," which introduces Korean style comics to manga audiences, was chosen as a "Quick Pick for Relunctant Young Readers" by the American Library Association in 2006, ages 12-18.

In 2004, I was asked by the Loew-Cornell Art Supply Company to develop a series of eight top-quality art kits, which would feature my manga, cartooning and comic drawings. The kits are now completed. They will be available, on Amazon, in fall, 2006.

My work has also been been featured in such publications as American Artist, Newtype (the premier manga publication), Mad Magazine, Highlights for Children, Crayola Kids, Ranger Rick, Cat Fancy, Dog Fancy and Boy's Life. My tutorials have been featured on Animation World Network, one of the leading websites of the animation industry. I've also been a cover story on the industry trade magazine, "Publisher's Weekly."

And if you've read this far into my bio, then I'm more impressed with you than you are with me!

Thank you so very much for letting me offer some inspiration to you in your art adventures. Keep Drawing!

Chris
