Cartooning the Head and Figure Review: Standard stuff for cartoonists. - I first got this book years ago, playing around with cartooning and such. Been doing it ever since and have bought this book a few times over to replace used and beat up copies. This particular copy I bought for a 10 year old's birthday. And being 10 years old, he opened it and classified it under 'oh a book' and went outside to play with his birthday party buddies. But that's what kids do. Ha ha, what a shame, cause this book is great. Great reference book for different angle hands, postures, and especially the section on facial expressions, which is cross referenced with each other. There is a lot of information in this book, and very clearly, er, illustrated. Your reading it to help learn and practice drawing, not learn a history of cartooning or how to make a living doing this, and the book doesn't weigh itself down with these things. If you need a good practice reference book, pick it up. I would find it hard to believe, if anyone happened to mention, that any western cartoonist didn't have this on his desk or within easy reach. Standard book for a cartoon artist's collection. If your thinking of buying this but worrying about it's publication date, remember that cartooning hasn't changed that much. The mediums have, but you still have to cartoon the head and figure. Pencils and Ink will never die, regardless of the advancement of RGB graphic assimilation. Review: Real GOOD - I've bought over 15 books about cartooning and drawing, and I think this one is of the best works about the subject. At least, it's the best for those who want to practise or review comic drawing systematically. It contains hundreds of real examples, from a variety of artists, with any kind of styles... It's an amazing selection of hands, faces, legs, costumes, etc. The explanations are also excellent. E.g., if you need to draw a fat sad woman in her sixties, you can bet you'll find an example, very easy to search for. It only has a slight fault: the examples are a bit old-fashioned (50's). This book has been worth for me every cent spent on it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0399508031 | | Best Sellers Rank | #148,092 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #46 in Teen & Young Adult Cartooning #55 in How to Create Anime & Cartoons #197 in Figure Drawing Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (428) | | Dimensions | 8.19 x 0.35 x 10.75 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | ISBN-10 | 9780399508035 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0399508035 | | Item Weight | 8.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 120 pages | | Publication date | November 1, 1986 | | Publisher | Tarcher | | Reading age | 12 years and up | ## Images ![Cartooning the Head and Figure - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hUoOsMPkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Standard stuff for cartoonists. *by D***R on October 13, 2012* I first got this book years ago, playing around with cartooning and such.
