Warner Bros. and Chronicle Books proudly present Draw the Looney Tunes. For years, this was the textbook used by in-house artists to learn the ropes at Warner Bros. This exclusive edition brings the book to the general public for the very first time. But in no way have we stripped it down. We're not kwazy. We've left all the bells and whistles in place: vellum overlays, landscape four-color foldouts, vintage cartoons, step-by-step instruction, and how-to textquite the package! With good humor and wise counsel the artists reveal their secrets of success and outline everything necessary to master the basic principles. It's written for every level of expertise, so budding cartoonists and those well into their craft will learn how to bring characters to life, train the eye to really "see," create rhythm and movement, show perspective, and perfect the finer points of drawing Bugs himself. Chockful of all this and more, Draw the Looney Tunes is a veritable open vault of information and inspiration from those in the knowand th-th-th-th-that's a lot, folks!

About more than the Looney Tunes!,
This review is from: Draw the Looney Tunes (Hardcover)
This book isn't just a book about drawing the Looney Tunes, it's a book about good drawing in general.It covers things like line of action, posing, construction, perspective, composition, clean-up, etc. It may sound like a cheesy children's drawing book from the title, but it absolutely is not. Not even close. It is a serious drawing book. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Draw the Looney Tunes (Hardcover)
This book is a _beautiful_ example of what Warner Brothers Marketing can do when they put their minds to it (another fine example are the Golden Collection DVD sets!) - essentially a "shop" manual to the Looney Tunes way of animating and drawing. Although it should have been noted that most of the focus is on Bugs Bunny, once you get Bugs down, it's all a matter of getting the character look down, as the book demonstrates through vellum overlays, sketch progressions and even completed pieces of artwork how to get action lines correct, tail positions right, paw proportions perfect, etc. I would list downsides, however there aren't any! This book is an attractive hardcover for not only the discriminating collector, but for the casual fan, too! It bookends "The Art of Warner Brothers Animation" and "Bugs Bunny: 50 Years and Only One Grey Hare" very well! The layout is fantastic, and the additional "features" (fold-out scenery, dissections of perspective drawing, vellum overlays) make this book WELL worth the twenty-some dollars they're getting for it on Amazon (cover price: $40 US!). If you're a fan of Warner Brothers animation, don't hesitate to dump this book in to your cart!

A good primer on character design,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Draw the Looney Tunes (Hardcover)
This book will teach you much more than 'how to draw Looney Tunes' - including understanding simple shapes for character construction, staging and composition, and line of action. These principles serve as the cornerstone for conceptual artists, character designers, and animators - and the book does a very good job uncovering the material.The book is generously illustrated with plenty of Looney Tunes art, which serves to illustrate how each of the above principles are applied (no pun intended). The Warner Bros. style of art in this book is biased more towards the modern-era of Looney Tunes art (80's and 90's) vs. that of the Chuck Jones / Clampett era. Some purists may object to that. Overlooking that aspect, there's still plenty of worthwhile information to glean from reading this book. Highly recommended.
