Summary: Great Stuff Here!
Review: Christopher Hart has brought many hours of both fun drawing and thoughtful learning in my atristic journey. Not only does he explain everything you need to know for beginners, but some fresh stuff for the experienced artist as well. I'm sure anyone of all ages will enjoy learning form this and all of his great books.

Summary: A Touch of Paradise!
Review: Everything this man draws is worth gold to beginning and intermediate (and probably advanced; I'm not that far yet) cartoonists! I bought this book for the cats, lions, and bears and discovered apes, skunk, mice, pigs and more, plus many human figures with hats,mustaches, etc. More imporantly, it discusses the principles of layout, how to create distance, depth, the use of props, backgrounds, angles and silhouettes. Wheh! A lot to learn, but so much fun. One of Hart's best books!!

Summary: Favorite in the Fifth Grade
Review: I am a fifth grade teacher and I bought this book for my class. The students just love it! This book is crammed full of really high-energy cartoon images with instructions on how to draw them. Every day, students ask to borrow this book. I have other art and cartoon books in my classroom, but this one is their all-time favorite.

Summary: Great book for the amateur cartoonist / animator

Summary: Good book
Review: I have had this book for a few years now and I love it. Hart gives lots of examples of a character in different situations. He also shows how to lay out your comic and gives advice on colors and such. This book /would/ have gotten the full 5 stars, but I felt that the section on animals could have either been expanded to include a basic rundown on construction for beginners, or left out entirely. The section is mainly about the relative height of animals to others and, above that, an intermediate construction of the animal itself, plus a brief written guideline. I should be getting Hart's book on cartooning animals today, so hopefully that will be more of a help to me in the animal area. All in all, this book is great for those who are just starting out or need a refresher.

Summary: Great book for the amateur cartoonist / animator
Review: My Sister got me this book as a gift. I really need to improve my drawing skills so I'm using this as a reference. I am using this book so that I can come up with some awesome cartoon characters for a flash based cartoon that I plan on making. This book has taught me cartooning tricks of the trade. This book is a lot less expensive than going to animation school.

Summary: Excellent find!
Review: This book is great! There are a ton of helpful tips and techniques that range from how to draw facial expressions and body types to how to draw ice cubes and water... and even how to convey wind or rain. The author, Christopher Hart, even explains why cartoon characters have only three fingers. This book is very clear, very informative and very funny! I highly recommend this book!

Summary: Christpher Hart's Best Book Ever!
Review: This book is simply the best book that Christopher Hart ever did make. Even though he was smacked in the face with a banana cream pie, he still wants us averages to know the secrets of anamation, and motion and action lines. Without this guy, we'd all be board. I wouldn't be reveiwing this book! I wouldn't be saying that I wouldn't be reivewing this book! Simply, this is a BEST SELLER! And it's a really great book!

Get it.

Summary: Chris Hart Does It Again!
Review: Without a doubt, Christopher Hart is one of the most prolific and talented cartoonist around. Having worked with companies such as Disney, his cartoon style is entertaining and stylic as well. It's got personality and it will make you want to engross yourself in the book. If you've not read any book by Chris Hart, this is one of his best. However, it is a wonderful book with lots of helpful ideas on becoming a cartoonist yourself. It covers everything from how to place the features to costumes to animals. It would definitely be a useful starting (and ending) ground for anyone interested in this art.
