Grab a pencil and some paper and get ready to draw some funny cartoons! You don't have to be a great artist to be a good cartoonist. Because cartoons are based in humour not art, the secret to their success is to think funny. In this handy guide, you'll find detailed instructions for creating cartoon people & animals. See how to capture different moods and expressions, experiment with perspective and position, give your characters the illusion of motion, and see how to use caption bubbles. With a little practice you'll be drawing adults and children, birds, reptiles, farm and jungle animals, forest critters, sea creatures, and more. But, most important, you'll have fun drawing cartoons that make people laugh.
