Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2–6—In this follow-up to How to Draw Cartoon Animals (Watson-Guptill, 1995), Hart shows young artists how to draw an impressive array of creatures. He includes many different animals, such as bears, penguins, horses, dogs, and cats, as well as a variety of breeds. In the introduction, Hart explains that this book includes edgier styles and more retro characters than his first book. The step-by-step, black-and-white outlines are accessible to beginning artists as well as those with more experience. The humorous and engaging characters include different cartoon "types" such as the evil genius or ultra-cute kitten, and there is a wide range of facial expressions as well. The simple text that accompanies each drawing explains the artist's choices and focuses readers' attention on important details in each drawing. Children will love this thorough and easy-to-use how-to guide.—Mari Pongkhamsing, St. Perpetua School, Lafayette, CA

Now The Cartoonist’s Big Book of Drawing Animals is ready to roar onto the market! All the most popular animals are here, including dogs, cats, horses, penguins, lions, tigers, bears, and elephants, as well as the favorite sidekick animals--pigs, kangaroos, giraffes, turtles. Simple step-by-step drawings show how to capture every cartoon emotion, from cutesy-sweet to begging to scheming, and how to create every box-office type, from baby animals to villain animals to clueless animals and much more.

It’s a mega-menagerie for cartoonists!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended - Super fun!!, March 9, 2008
By Larry "Larry" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This is really a fun book. Is there anybody who doesn't smile when they are presented with a cute animal cartoon? The situations are limitless and usually funny. The techniques explained in this book are sometimes simple, sometimes complex, but always humorous and brilliant, and most of all, helpful. There are some general ideas such as curved vs. straight lines and there are more specific ideas, about the different types of Bear Mouths. My Teddy Bear's are now cuter and they now wear various "genius type eyewear". Other great information about dog walks, dog runs, head angles - stuff that is obvious to a pro like Chris Hart and now more obvious to me.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Another fantastic book from Chris Hart. This dude never misses when it comes to drawing instruction. Who doesn't like cartoon animals? His concepts are easy to follow and even novices can wrap their heads around his simple steps to creating cartoons from scratch. If u love to draw u better make a spot on your shelf for this book.
