How to Draw Cartoon Animals

It’s an alright book, but it’s still a little difficult for beginners. I will be avoiding Christopher Hart until I’m more advanced haha

This book was given to me a Christmas gift, and i love it! It was one of my favorites. I saw this book once and forgot the title,(which was truly disappointing) but i was lucky enough to see it again, and this time own it!My dream is to become a cartoonist, and this book was perfect for me. I love the style, and how great quality the book is. It shows step by step of many different animals preforming different poses, complete with fun cartoon facts and helpful tips. Popular cartoon animal subjects have a couple of pages just to themselves, but at the end there is a combination of many different, less popular animals, and it explains quite a lot as well as the longer guides to more popular animals.The cartoons like very professional, and the text is neatly written out. Needless to say the entire book is very neat and organized.One of my favorite features is the beginning: A couple of pages just to themselves about cartoon secrets and great ideas and tips to help you improve your cartooning! this is a perfect guide to making good cartoons, and it explains well. Note that all of this is expressed in a understandable, simple way.Overall i love this book. It would make a great gift and is perfect for "young contortionists". I would highly suggest this. It's just perfect.

I had checked this book out at my library first and wow I learned a lot and it was review to me. I had gotten a better at drawing and the basic shape of the face. I also learned how to draw the tiger and the lion. I have put this learning into my own characters of a dog, cat, tiger, giraffe, and a bear.

I was given this when I was 6-7 years old, over two decades ago and lost it at some point. Took me forever to figure out the name and author / artist of this book, but remembered all the drawings as I still doodle them today. Found it and HAD TO BUY IT! Worth the purchase! This is what helped me learn how to draw all those years back and nowadays I'm a graphic designer. Love this! Get one for yourself or your kid.

I like this book very much.I didn't think it would help as much as it did.Within an hour I had drawn several very quality cartoon animals. My wife and I were both impressed.It still takes me a long time to make the drawing, but I feel the speed with improve with practice.My drawings were all progressivly better as well, as I became more familiar with reoccuring concepts, like: sketch lightly, use basic shapes and adjust them, etc.While I drew several different animals some of the component parts were the same and it helped.I wish I had received this when I was a kid, I could work for Disney right now!

To be honest of my 20 some books by Chris Hart, there is not one that I don't find enormously helpful, entertaining and totally worth the investment.

I have several of his books and each one seems to be better than the one before. What a wonderful artist, full of imagination, who also has a unique way of teaching you how to create something similar. I would recommend it to anyone - young or old. You feel as if he is sitting beside you gently guiding your pencil.

Love this book It is just what you want if you want to draw cartoon animals it is great!
