This is a book on how to draw cartoon characters. period. I have been a graffiti artist for over 15 years and the characters in this book arent even remotely close to being graffiti characters. I bought this book for a nephew of mine who has always been into my graffiti work and I thought he would enjoy it. But. its a HUGE disappointment.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
