The Cartoonist's Workshop provides the aspiring cartoon artist with a carefully structured, how-to teaching programme. Beginning with basic techniques, such as facial proportions and how to alter them for effect, it goes on to show how to create believable human and animal figures, draw scenes and objects and define a sense of place. The workshop ends with the reader planning, designing and executing an entire comic. Throughout there are projects to complete, encouraging readers to experiment and develop their own style as their skills increase. the Book also includes useful advice on preparing a folio and marketing work professionally. The Cartoonist's Workshop concludes with a gallery of work by leading professionals from around the world, with invaluable insights into their working methods by the cartoonists themselves.
