Learn to draw old timey cartoons

Interesting stuff. With just enough of that 20′s era political incorrectness to make you a little uncomfortable.

Take a look at this wonderful little book on cartooning techniques by cartoonist B. “Tack” Knight. Tack’s Cartoon Tips for the Aspiring Professional!

In just twenty-nine pages he teaches aspiring professional artists how to draw cartoons the way they were done in the old-fashioned style of 1923!

Some of the pages are corny and not very useful today, but MOST of this book features rock-solid cartooning tips for learning how to draw in that old big-foot print cartoon style.

12 Mini Chapters on the Art of Cartooning:

  • How to draw HANDS (this page is a winner!)
  • Hats, Shoes, Wrinkles (as in clothes and drapery)
  • Lessons on drawing KIDS and ANIMALS
  • Drawing various cartoon facial Expressions
  • How to draw BACKGROUNDS
  • and even a bit on Cartoon Lettering
