Funny Cartooning for Kids

Other guides to cartooning only help kids draw-- this one also shows them how to "think" funny! That' s because a good cartoon always makes the reader smile...and that requires a clever idea and an understanding of what elements make a picture witty. Cartoon master Mike Artell presents an entertaining lesson, with plenty of laugh-out-loud images to demonstrate his every point. As children try out a series of imaginative exercises, they' ll learn why exaggeration adds humor, why simplifying details makes a character " cartoony, " and why doing the opposite of what' s expected can be so effective, and why having animals do " human" things is so amusing. Best of all, there really are no hard and fast rules-- so budding cartoonists can have fun getting creative.Artell, Mike is the author of 'Funny Cartooning for Kids ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781402722608 and ISBN 1402722605.
