Drawing and Cartooning for Laughs

Jack Hamm is one of the best art instructors there is, period. His books are accessible and easy to use and learn from. He created a series of books that help the budding animator, painter, sketcher, or comic artist. If you have some art skills, this is a great book to buy to learn more about caricature, styles and technique, running figure, scene setup, It has great shortcuts and tips for artists of ALL skill levels. If you haven't read his "First Lessons for Painting and Drawing", it is an indispensible book you may want to read before this one. For kids, the Jack Hamm books are the next logical step after the Ed Emberly Big Green Drawing Book and others in his series, and next the 2 main Mark Kistler books.
