Share your thoughts with other customers Reviewed in Australia on 28 November 2019 Verified Purchase I bought this for my Granddaughter and I will give it to her at Christmas.I am sure she will enjoy it. Reviewed in Australia on 15 February 2021 Verified Purchase Great for understanding expressions. You can get a good understanding and feel if you are creating comics 5.0 out of 5 stars The book every cartoonist should have! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 April 2015 Verified Purchase "Cartoon Faces" by Christopher Hart is a book that I've been waiting for someone to write/draw since I first started drawing cartoons. Search any website for cartoon how-to books, and you'll find hundreds written about poses, anatomy, clothing and a dozen other aspects of drawing cartoons. What was really lacking until this arrived was a book totally dedicated to all aspects of the face. Regardless of your level of detail in cartooning, there are so many features to consider when drawing the facial area that a book dedicated to just this one thing was very much in demand, and this book wildly succeeds at it's task. Taking you from the very basics of head shapes, through each individual facial feature, the author guides the artist on the best way to refine the head, through reshaping, streamlining and the often-overlooked "squash and stretch" technique. This is explained in plain no-nonsense language anyone can easily follow, and highlighted with very helpful drawings and lines indicating directions, etc. Also covered in the book are shading and highlights (something I never even considered before, but after reading this I can immediately see the improvement my cartoons will have by including it), hairstyles of every type and description, and a fabulous chapter on how simple it is to exaggerate features to really bring your characters to life. 5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT INTRO TO CARTOONs probably its a womans job instead.. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 January 2021 Verified Purchase seemed like a fun idea.. too many eyebrows makes you nuts.. 5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 March 2019 Verified Purchase I love drawing cartoons and manga and I love Christopher Hart drawing books. This is very simple to follow and I'm very glad I bought this. Ideal for anyone looking to start drawing cartoons. 4.0 out of 5 stars Good Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2019 Verified Purchase Bought for my 10 year old daughter. Nice book for learning to draw or extend ability to draw cartoon faces. 4.0 out of 5 stars First class. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2019 Verified Purchase Very well laid out and very easy, if you follow the guidance, to produce results straight away. My daughter is 10 and is considerably taken with her new found skills... Customers who viewed this item also viewed

In summary, I wish this book had been available to me years ago when I was starting out. The amount of excellent tutorials and tips contained in it make it an absolute bargain, and any cartoonists out there who don't have this on their shelf are missing out. A must-have purchase for anyone interested in character drawing.
Happy sketching :)
