I taught myself how to draw with how to draw books and this is one of the best around today. It starts with the wobbliest silly faces but ends up with lighting, perspective and picture design - all in easy cartoon steps. This book is about the fun drawing can be.
This isn't about turning kids into artists; it's about turning them into HORRIBLE artists. The amazing Tony De Saulles shares the secrets of his uniquely 'squishy' style. For everyone who's ever dreamed of drawing mad scientists, farting cows and elephant poo. Definitely not for those who love to draw kittens, pretty flowers and fluffy bunnies...
