How to Draw and Sell Digital Cartoons

We first checked this book out of the library (I have an 11-yr-old would-be cartoonist son), then ended up buying our own copy. Great introduction to different cartooning styles, composition, and a better hands-on description of using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator than you find in the owner's manuals! Nice layout, colorful, thick, glossy pages. Beautiful book and useful reference.

This is an excellent look at the multi-faceted concerns of those interested in digital cartoons and comics, from inspiration to drawing, page layout, computer techniques, character design, coloring and publishing, both on the web and in print. It's wide-ranging enough to touch on almost all aspects of the creation of digital comics, but focused enough to deal with specific techniques. A fascinating and highly useful book that's also chock-full of beautiful digital art by many of the leading digital cartoonists and comics artists.
