MY THOUGHTS -
Nice book! And pretty original from what I've seen of drawing books. It makes it look so simple. I think even older children would be able to do this. I like that you can draw right in the book or, of course, you can use a separate sheet of paper.
The book is made up of different sections, like -
* Draw the other half
* Select different expressions
* Draw ridiculous inventions
* Complete the cartoons
just to name a few
At the bottom of some of the pages he even gives you hints -
"It can help with characterization to imagine what your character might be saying."
"Give them an angry look with a sidelong glance."
"A small chest with slightly wider hips gives a humorous look to thin characters."
All-in-all a good drawing book. It looks like fun to me! I think this would especially make a great gift!
Thank you Blogging for Books for sending me this book for my honest review.
