Cartooning for Kids Paperback – Illustrated, 1 August 2002

Received empty box

Great fun for kids or even adults! It encourages the to use their own imagination but at the same time guides them with the basic principles of drawing cartoons. Highly recommend for all ages from 10 onwards

very basic book had scribbles in it so not as good as advertised . did get my money back. thanks

My youngest grand-daughter started drawing and it was passed on to her. I was surprised at how much she loved & used it at the age of 7. She followed the instructions and drew almost every cartoon in the book in a very short period of time, it's that easy to follow-if you can draw. I don't think it would make an artist out of someone who has no talent (like me, I tried it).

My 8 year old loves to draw. She is a perfectionist so have guidance helps to relieve her frustrations. She can't wait to draw all the pictures in this book. There was not enough time in the day for her the day she got this. She loves how it shows fronts, backs, sides, male and female faces, expressions. She wanted to read through the book all over again at bedtime.

I am the least talented artist ever. This book showed me that in a few easy-to-follow lines, I can draw various animals, people, and expressions. My hat is off to Mike Artell! Yesterday was devoted to the walrus and cat. What fun!
