The Cartoonist's Big Book of Drawing Animals

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.

Excellent book where you can find almost all types of animals. The explanation is simple and straight to the point. It's really worth buying it.

This is Chris Hart at his best!This is the first book from him in a long while that is exclusively his own art. I actually pre-ordered this volume(on faith) hoping that I would not be disappointed, and it turns out I wasn't! I'm an artist myself(and a teacher), and, I have used Chris' books in my class on occasion. The kids(7th-8th graders) seemed to like his easy-to follow lessons, and they jump right in. Since I like cartoon animals the cover art appealed to me. He was very generous with all of the artwork in this book, I will get many hours of fun from it.

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.
