This book focuses more on the technical aspect of Comics.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I used this book as one of four texts in my independent study in Sequential Art. Compared to Will Eisner's book, "Sequential Art", and Stan Lee's, "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way", Alan McKenzie's book provides much more detailed information on the technical aspects of Comic Books. There is better information on what tools to use, how to use them, how to get published, etc...The other books show only finished pieces of art, whereas this book actually shows the artist working on the art. I found that aspect very helpful.
A good book for the learning process of drawing cartoons
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The book is an easy way of getting started with comics. From the tools to the advanced sketches. The book is built up in a way that does not seem messy. This is a good handbook. It is always easy to find the passages that you need. An excellent book with only one bad thing. It would have been good to see some other ways of cartooning from other artists. But still a good buy! :-)
