This book was typical of the many caricature instruction books I have seen over the years. The 'basic' section was nothing new to me. I learned that years ago. The rest of the book highlighted the author's caricature skills, but failed to give much 'instruction' that could be used by a beginner or even someone like me trying to improve my skills.
I really liked the book from an entertainment viewpoint. It is a great book to document the authors success, but doesn't help me with mine.

Dick Gautier presents strong ideas on the art of caricature. He provides lots of illustrations based on his interpretations of famous and not so famous people that he has caricaturized. This book is a good resource for anyone serious on learning how to caricature people.

My daughter loves to draw cartoons- she was thrilled with this book.Personally I dont get it but it wasnt for me! in great condition for a used book- you cant tell its used. all-in-all a great deal.

I enjoyed the book, its drawings and notes. The reading is also enjoyable. However, the art work, technique and examples, although instructive, I believe still require a bit more of sophistication.
