Rather than the "copy-what-you-see" approach that some beginner books employ. this book emphasizes good drawing habits right from the beginning and teaches how to draw characters using well-accepted proportioning guidelines. It also includes a review of the essential items youll want once you begin drawing and emphasizes practice. From there. the book delves into accessories. a variety of character types. vehicles. introductory perspective. use of speed lines. developing thumbnails. scenery and writing a good story.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
