Most kids know you love to draw at some point. Some of them love it so much, go on making video games, comics, cartoons, and graphic novels. If you are looking for some excellent books on cartooning for kids, here are three that can help you get started.
One of the absolute best overall introduction to the Big Book of Cartooning Bruce Blitz. He starred in a public television show for many years, and I was able as a young person to learn from his techniques.
the book covers everything from basic cartooning skills, such as combining different types of faces, features and hairstyles, the different characters. It also shows how to draw the human body and add motion to them so that they are funny and dynamic, and not just standing still.
He does a great job of introducing cartoon effects and equipment. These are the kinds of things that make fun of cartoons and bring them to life, such as wavy lines that come from a slice of pizza, to show that it smells good. Or line the pond water or a mirror, to show that they are reflective. And the funniest of all, those little beads of sweat or action lines, like when someone has just thrown the ball.
There is a lot of mention on how to create comics, including how to knock them out, think up jokes, and make your case. For children who want to try their hands on type of superhero comics, it covers various ways to make your man go from goofy to wonder, from zero to hero. Also included are various positions you can use, such as lifting, taking off, flying and punching.
This is an all-inclusive work is also part of the cartoon or caricature portraiture. So you can draw funny pictures of yourself, friends, family, teachers, and give those away as gifts. You might even end up selling your work!
Another excellent review is Everything you ever wanted to know about cartooning but were afraid to draw . The author is a Disney-trained artist, so it's the perfect reference if you like that style. But it is too much covers all of the terms and drawing action is both comic book look.
One particular part I like is how to draw their own cartoons from different camera angles, and way down low. In this way, if you are trying to draw something from the perspective of a very small figure, such as a mouse looking at a person, you can get a funny look on their work.
Art for Children: cartooning: only cartooning book you'll ever need to contractor you've always wanted to be encourages children to experiment with different techniques to get their own styles. style is loose and open, so it's easy for kids to follow. There is also information about writing jokes and creating board.
So, if you're interested in cartooning for kids, these three books that will help you get started are perfect. You will have three completely different styles to study, and you'll have lots of ideas about the basics of drawing, as well as details on how to put it all together on your own cartoon creations. Happy cartooning!
