Book description
A unique reference for creating and marketing original cartoons and comics
An original American art form, comics thrill millions of people
across the globe. Combining step-by-step instruction with expert tips
and advice, Drawing Cartoons & Comics For Dummies is a
one-stop reference for creating and marketing original cartoons and
comics. While many books tend to focus on specific characters or
themes, this thorough guide focuses instead on helping aspiring
artists master the basic building blocks of cartoons and comics,
revealing step by step how to create everything from wisecracking
bunnies to souped-up super villains. It also explores lettering and
coloring, and offers expert marketing advice. The book's color insert
provides guidance on how to add color to cartoon creations.
