Learn to Draw Looney Tunes (Learn to Draw Series (Laguna Hills, Calif.).) Paperback – January 1, 2000

tHIS BOOK WAS EXCELLENT, IT BROKE DOWN THE CHARACTERS INTO SECTIONS AND HAD STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS WHICH WERE EASY TO FOLLOW. I RECOMMEND IT TO ANY ON BEGINNER OR SEASONED VET.

I found this book to be an excellent aid to my hobby and would reccommend it to my friends.

This tutorial when compared to most other tutorials is rather pointless and not very explanatory. Instead of using basic shapes that are MUST if you work for an art or animation studio, it just illustrates silhouettes step-by-step which doesn't help artists improve on structure and anatomy. Even the animators for that cartoon needed to draw basic shapes first to use proper structure and anatomy, therefore the steps looked like a reversed order of an image being gradually erased. If you're going to draw Taz or instance, the shape of the heart symbol ALWAYS comes first before constructing the rest since his head and trunk (which are combined together as a single body part) looks identical to a heart symbol.The only thing good about this tutorial is that there are promotional images to study from, including the characters' actions and attitudes.I don't recommend this tutorial, therefore the steps are misleading. The "tutorial" artist should have taken an art course in the first place.

I bought this book believing it would be an aid as an aspiring animator. I was very disappointed to discover that all 80-something pages are made up of 5 step progressions of the characters appearing on a grid. There's no use of spheres, circles, volumes. It looks more like someone started with a nice trace on a line drawing and started erasing parts of it backwards until the page was empty, then put the drawings in reverse to appear as if this is a building process. GRID drawings are good for an 8-year old, but not when you are trying to understand these characters. If you're serious and are interested in truly learning what's behind a Character, you should check out "Draw the Looney Tunes" by Dan Romanelli Draw the Looney Tunes THEN you won't be disappointed.

This book isn't best for a beginner. I would recommend it for those who have already grasped many of the multiple steps needed to complete each character's profiles.On the upside, it features lots of large glossy cartoons!
