Cartooning: Basic Cartooning: Learn to draw cartoon characters and scenes (How to Draw & Paint) Paperback – December 15, 2015

If you like doodling and drawing cartoons, you might benefit from some basic instructions. Basic Cartooning by Maury Aaseng, follows the methods developed 90 years ago by artist, Walter Foster, at his home in Laguna Beach, California. It begins with materials and moves on to the basic shapes needed to make cartoons. Included is information on using digital techniques, not available during Foster’s time, and the process for developing panels and strips.As useful as it is for beginners, I also found it a good refresher myself, to build on the techniques I developed during my time as a newspaper editorial cartoonist in the 1970s. This one is a must for your art reference library.I purchased this book from Amazon several years ago, and lately, as I was dabbling in my studio, I ran across it and decided to post a review to let budding artists know that there is a book that can help them through the rough spots and improve their art.
