  Me pareció excelente para entender fácilmente como dibujar Cartoons, te da todo lo indispensable para saber hacer lo que te muestra y entenderlo. Es como me gusta que sean los libros de dibujo, prácticos y concisos en lo que te están explicando.

  Hvis du ligesom jeg synes, at det kunne være sjovt at sætte tegninger til noget af det, du tænker, så er det her et helt fantastisk sted at starte. Bogen er smækfyldt med helt simple indgange til at tegne de små tegneseriefigurer og sætte forskellige udtryk på dem.
  
  Læs den med en blyant i hånden, og se så hvad du har tegnet, når du er færdig. Det ligner rent faktisk. For mig har det været en hel perfekt rejse ud i noget, som jeg absolut ikke mestrede og fortsat ikke gør, men som jeg nu kan til husbehov. Jeg kan rent faktisk akkompagnere en tekst jeg har skrevet med et visuelt udtryk, som ikke falder helt igennem - og så er det skide sjovt at tegne, når man kan få det til at ligne en smule.

  A fast, fun read with tons of examples and step by step illustrations. Definitely aimed at making humorous cartoons, so lots of the advice is about what is funny. Relies a bit on broad strokes notions of age and gender.

  Wow. It works
  
  I am not going to be a professional cartoonist from using this book. However, I am going to have fun with it while being about 20 times better than I as before. I'm glad I bought the book to refer back to for cartoon style. I used it like a text book and went over one section at a time. I feel more confident and ready to cartoon!

  Lots of great tips and details, but perhapsa bit over-emphasis on certain character types.

  This book is a quick, very efficient guide to drawing in a certain kind of cartoon style. It tells only exactly what you need to do that, focusing almost entirely on drawing people.
  
  I think that there are two kinds of ways to draw in a simplified manner. One is where you couldn't draw any better anyway; the other is where you can draw realistically and well and have chosen deliberately to simplify your style, which hopefully shows in better results. This book seems to skip over into that second version of the simplified cartoonish style without having to to draw realistically first. In other words, following these instructions, it looks like you could learn to draw as if you knew about human anatomy and so on without actually needing to know all that.
  
  (By the way, look at the author picture here on Goodreads, and then at the figure sticking out of the O in the book title, at least in this edition, which is his author avatar. Isn't it weird how they look the same? The cartoon is silly and scrawny and wears glasses, and all its details are so exaggerated none of them seem to match the photograph. And yet, it looks a bit like him specifically. That's as good a recommendation for this book as any.)
