To learn how to draw cartoons and comics effectively, you have to first understand the purpose behind them. Anyone can learn to draw cartoons and comics in a mechanical way, but to become successful, you have to get the meaning of what makes people want to read them, and continue to read them. Once that is understood, the drawing is much easier and will come across as being a reflection of purpose.
Learning how to draw cartoons is mostly done by observation and practice. As we study some of the masters of the art of cartooning, you will discover that they learned in various ways, but they never quit drawing. That is the secret. If you form the habit of doing a little bit of drawing each day, you will be on your way to success. Or you can do a lot of drawing each day too, and that will be fine.
If you are really serious about the pursuit of cartooning and the drawing of comics as a career, you should seek the best instruction you can get. Just think about how many hours a student puts in to any career path, such as a doctor, lawyer, or even a plumber, and you will find that to become a pretty good cartoonist, you can do the same, only the time spend would be considerably less. Even so the satisfaction of being able to earn a living doing something your love to do is a great motivating force, and you can do just that if you decide that it is what you want.
This book will give you an insight into the world of cartoon-drawing, its rules and traditions, and the paths to follow. Once you get the main idea and purpose behind drawing the cartoons you will be able to develop your own authentic recognizable creative style and break into the big time of cartoon-drawing!
