4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty cool for kids and adults, March 11, 2002

By	Su - See all my reviews

This is a very cute book. It appears to be for kids but can be enjoyed by adults as well. It is a guide to drawing the animated style heroes. It goes over the basics of how to do proportions, as well as how to view body parts as everyday shapes (explains it better than some of the other books I've seen). It uses the heroes to tell you how to do things, which is a cute device. It even explains how to draw the center of balance, action, perspective, foreshortening, and the like. I really enjoyed this book. Very easy to understand. The only thing it lacked was that while it went over how to draw the male form in detail, it did not take the same care in the female form. Some of the differences were covered, but not all. Other than that it's great! Highly recommended.

well the truth about this book is that it ain't all that useful if you already know how to draw. Yet if you have no idea how to pick up a pencil this is the book for you
