This step by step drawing book was great for my family. We got three, one for myself one for my son and one for my wife. I noticed our stick figures turning into real drawings almost instantly. This book goes over theory, and history in step by step examples that even my 5 year old could follow!

I would recommend this book to anyone. It's good for all levels, from the novice to the advanced.

Many, many years ago, I took a class from the book's author, Dan O'Neill in San Francisco. I had always liked to draw since I was a kid, but I couldn't really draw comic strip type characters and objects. I also couldn't tell a credible story. Dan's class and book changed all that. It didn't turn me into a "published" comic artist, but for many years, I kept my co-workers and friends informed and entertained with my daily submissions.

Eventually, what I learned became the basis for teaching each of my children how to draw. My daughter took it to heart and is currently a graphic design major at a liberal arts college in the Pacific Northwest.

I don't know where Dan is now or what he's doing, but I wish him well and I'm pleased to see you can still buy this book.

this book makes cartooning easy, fun, and understandable, while teaching the important fundamentals of drawing
it's a must for art teachers
