Get out your number 2 pencils! Bruce Blitz, professional cartoonist, television personality, and all-around enthusiastic guy, is going to teach you how to draw! The Big Book of Cartooning is a fun, comprehensive, easy-to-use guide to the basic techniques of cartooning. In his Big Book, Blitz explains the process of drawing cartoons with detailed chapters that cover everything from the selection of paper and pencils to sketching animals and portraits. And don't worry if it doesn't turn out right the first time--Blitz's optimistic style and encouraging words will help smooth over the rough spots. In the forward, Bil Keane, syndicated cartoonist and creator of "The Family Circus," writes, "It is a brilliant compilation of the many basic aspects of drawing, simplified and presented in a breezy, entertaining style." Whether you're a budding young artist or an old dog still scratching out stick people, The Big Book of Cartooning can help you sketch more interesting and expressive pictures. Reading this book won't necessarily turn you into the next Gary Larson, but with a little guidance from Bruce Blitz and a lot of practice, you could be drawing better cartoons in no time! --George Laney --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Library Journal
Blitz has the honor of having been nominated for four Emmy Awards for his PBS television series Blitz on Cartooning. Having already written eight cartooning books, he now turns out a rather uninspired effort. He covers the basic drawing of faces, animals, action, and so on and offers tips on producing caricatures, greeting cards, business cards, and advertisements. A more amusing and insightful book is Christopher Hart's Drawing on the Funny Side of the Brain
