Great book with tons of ideas!,

This review is from: Drawing Cartoons: A Complete Guide (Paperback)
I bought this book for my husband, who is into cartooning and always looking for new facial expressions and new little ideas. This gave him some great new ideas. I was worried that it would be too juvenile for his experience, but it rally wasn't. He's been drawing since he was a kid, and was able to get plenty of new and useful things out of this book. He was very hapy with it.
