Cartoon

The pocket-size books in this instructive series cover virtually every aspect of the graphic arts and make handy quick-reference guides for art students, teachers, and museum visitors. They are heavily illustrated in color and filled with descriptive and instructional information. The books fall into four categories: Purple Series titles explain art media and techniques; Red Series books describe different genres and visual effects; Green Series books illustrate art tools and theory; and Yellow Series titles survey periods and movements in art history. This Red Series title explains in detail the principles of cartoon drawing in a variety of media, with examples demonstrating ways of showing facial expressions, sketching clothing as an indicator of occupation and social standing, suggesting motion, and much more.
