Arnold
Wagner and Shannon Turlington have captured the essence of cartoon
art in this wonderful guide. The authors have an effective way of
inspiring and teaching others the craft of cartooning. Arnold and
Shannon start you off in the first frame and from there, at the beginning,
you understand your place in the history of cartoon artistry. Great
visionaries, the authors project your sights into the future of cartoon
art and before you know it, you’re learning the tools of the trade,
the essentials of figure drawing, perspective and personal expression.
I was especially impressed by their ability to succinctly teach the
values of good composition and the elements of style. There is an
excellent section on genre, which will help you develop your cartooning
career, another on the genesis of good ideas and yet another section
on breaking into the business and preparing your portfolio. Marketing,
copyrights and other legal issues are also addressed. If you want
to learn about the business and art of cartooning you must have this
book.
