Christopher Hart has sold over 6 million copies of his
books on cartooning and doodling. 6 Million! If that doesn’t make him the
reigning master of cartooning instruction I don’t know what would.
It’s easy to see what Hart is so popular with the
doodling set after a quick flip through the pages of his latest effort, Doodletopia: Cartoons: Draw, Design, and
Color Your Own Super-Fun Cartoon Creations. Hart has an easy to follow
teaching style that work for many levels of experience with drawing; whether
you’re just starting out or have already developed some skills, Doodletopia will offer great guidance,
but also serve up some direction on refining already existing skills.
Doodletopia
offers a hands on, (or maybe pencil on is a better way to put it) experience as
Hart offers a series of what I can only describe as half drawings, that allow
you to follow his guidance while completing the other half of a drawing. This
gives an easy to follow method for using similar techniques and lines based on
what he starts you off with. For beginers this a great way to develop a steady
hand and some basic skills.
While so much of cartooning and animation has moved
over to the digital realm, Doodletopia will
offer you the ability to develop some great basic skills that you can grow and
expand over time.
