A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Draw stupid, succeed big! Okay, dumdum. This one is pretty much idiot-proof. Even you should be able to figure out How to Draw, Stupid, and Other–what? No commas? Whoops, sorry. But How to Draw Stupid and Other Essentials of Cartooning is simple enough for even the simplest readers. Author Kyle Baker, who only acts stupid, is in fact “the greatest cartoonist of all time,” or so he tells us. Here he presents a hard-working instruction book that provides artists with the essential skills needed for success. From the principles of drawing to turning those principles on their ear (or their rear), from conveying movement to creating a step-by-step sequence, from idea sketch to finished drawing, How to Draw Stupid and Other Essentials of Cartooning is the smartest purchase any aspiring artist can make, regardless of mental acuity.
