Lark Art For Kids: Cartooning Art For Kids: Cartooning

The only cartooning book you\'ll ever need to be the artist you\'ve always wanted to be. Any child who can make a stick figure can learn to create funny cartoons--and this enjoyably illustrated guide tells them exactly how. Written by professional cartoonist Art Roche, it gives kids lots of hands-on opportunities to turn their creative ideas into delightfully drawn reality. The emphasis is on doing original illustrations and developing a personal vision, rather than tracing or copying someone else\'s style; after all, cartooning is a free and fun form, so there\'s no \"wrong\" way to draw one. Roche also includes plenty of information that other children\'s how-to books overlook, including advice on writing jokes, composing panels, and getting published. In short, it addresses every step of the process, from buying a pencil to seeing the cartoons in print. Hardcover book with jacket measures 8 1/2 in. x 10 in., 112 pages all in color. Lark, 2005.
