books about: caricature     books:       Cartooning the Head and Figure24 reviews Jack Hamm San Val, 1999 Great reference This book is full of great ideas and tips. There's plenty for the beginner, like little tutorials on highly-stylized eyes or noses or mouths, or straightforward examples on common poses, but it's not just a book for beginners. There are a lot of highly-finished drawings as well, and examples of moving from simple to more complex drawings. Plus tips on various penciling and inking techniques, ...             The PreHistory of The Far Side ®:: A 10th Anniversary Exhibit (Far Side Series)45 reviews Gary Larson Andrews and McMeel Publishing, 1989 Great insight into a great comic mind This is a behind-the-scenes look at The Far Side. In it, Larson gives us a history of how he got into doing comics, thoughts and sketches behind specific comics, and tons of hilarious stories about exchanges between him and his editors, letters from fans (and people who are decidedly not fans), and comics that were rejected, for one reason or another. I love Larson's sense of humor. This book ...             Hell in a Handbasket54 reviews Tom Tomorrow Tarcher, 2006 It's funny; sadly, it's also too true Let's face it: outside of wealthy oilmen and Halliburton stockholders, there haven't been that many people who've benefited from the Bush years (which, as of this writing, continues to be at its nadir of popularity). Of course, one other group that has benefited are political cartoonists, who should be grateful to Bush and company for providing so much material. There are few better at working ...             Tintin in Tibet (The adventures of Tintin)29 reviews HergeÌ� Methuen, 1973 My favorite Tintin This album was first published in 1960. It is my favorite Tintin. Tintin has a vivid dream in which his friend Tchang is in serious danger. They soon find out that his friend was on a plane that crashed in the Himalayas. There were no survivors reported, but Tintin is still convinced that Tchang is alive. Tintin and Captain Haddock flies to India and then they go to the Nepalese/Tibetan border. ...             The Complete Far Side 1980-1994 (2 vol set)238 reviews Gary Larson, Steve Martin Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2003 Great in all aspects The first aspect that you will notice is the quality of the paper and printing, then comes the best: year after years of Gary Larson humor packed in a two volume box! If you are simply a cartoon fan then don't worry... buy it!             Big Book of Cartooning20 reviews Bruce Blitz, Foreword by Bill Keane of "Family Circus" Bruce Blitz Running Press Kids, 2001 Terrific Book! I checked this book out of the library, because it had such a high rating on Amazon. It was every bit as good as the claims made, so I bought myself a copy. I've been all the way through the book and learned a lot. One of the things that I liked most about it was that it kept me busy making actual drawings. I felt that I made progress everyday. I've seen other drawing books; but for many of them, ...             It Itches: A Stash of Knitting Cartoons20 reviews Franklin Habit Interweave Press, 2008 You will howl with laughter This book is so funny, you will howl with laughter. Even if you don't knit or crochet, the cartoons and essays will have you falling out of your chair. If you have a friend or loved one who knits or crochets, and you don't want to give them yarn or a gift certificate to a yarn shop, this book is the perfect gift.             Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing25 reviews Judi Barrett Atheneum, 1970 There is a kid in all of us. We found this book while searching for another one, "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs." Both of these make great bed time reading for our now second grader. Everyone enjoys "reading." Its a great bonding time with our son.             The art of animal drawing: construction, action analysis, caricature20 reviews Ken Hultgren McGraw-Hill, 1950 Priceless Ken Hultgren's animal drawing book is by far the best I've ever seen. The drawings are not only beautiful and full of life but rich in anatomical information as well. Studying and copying these drawings, combined with a few trips to the zoo and a horse ranch, enhanced my awareness of animal anatomy and movement enormously. I used this book as my primary resource for modeling, rigging, animating ...             Up Front42 reviews Bill Mauldin W. W. Norton & Company, 2000 Up Front Review Ppurchased as a gift for 86 yr old father-in-law. He remembered looking forward to Bill Mauldin's cartoons while serving in WWII. It was just right for Father's Day! He loved it!             Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Cartooning but Were Afraid to Draw (Christopher Hart Titles)17 reviews Christopher Hart Watson-Guptill, 1994 Maybe not Everything, but Plenty Nevertheless! Before I finished my third book I decided it needed cartoons to visually explain some ideas (a picture is worth 1000 words) and provide humor to a tough subject. I started checking with hiring a professional artist (or student artist) to do the work. It quickly became clear the task would be time consuming, expensive and I may not get what I wanted in the end. First, it would be difficult to ...             Zen Speaks: Shouts of Nothingness15 reviews Tsai Chih Chung Anchor, 1994 Delightful! Hard to imagine that a cartoon could unfold the depths of Zen. Perhaps it is the fact the cartoons are brief yet encapsulate so much. Personally, I find it to be in the expressions of the characters in the drawings that tell the story. I really feel the smiles throughout the book and can almost see them winking along with that smile. Never straying from the seriousness of Zen, this little ...             Last chapter and worse: A far side collection14 reviews Gary Larson Scholastic, 1997 Far Side Goodbye MUST HAVE For those of you Larson~FarSiders like me, this is a must have. You need to love and see FarSide on your daily life to understand and enjoy Larson's humor. This last book has more of what we all wished he could and would continue giving us. On a scale of one to ten farsides, and compared to previous FarSide books, this one is an "8". Buy it!             Bill Mauldin's Army: Bill Mauldin,s Greatest World War II Cartoons19 reviews Bill Mauldin Presidio Press, 1983 Bulls-eye! I've been a long-time fan of Bill Mauldins work from WW2. Finally i got myself a copy of "Bill Mauldin's Army" and also one of "Up Front" through a special offer from Amazon.com. "Bill Mauldin's Army" is a collection of some of Mauldin's best work from WW2 and I truly enjoy the sometimes ironic, sometimes sarcastic but always warm humour he manages to portrait in one single cartoon frame. It is ...             Let's Toon Caricatures18 reviews Keelan Parham Lunar Donut Pr, 2003 The Complete Caricature Course! For a complete novice who suddenly realised it would be fun to have a go at drawing caricatures, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Other "how to" books on the subject left me feeling inadeqate and incapable of drawing anything resembling my victims. When Keelans book safely and quickly arrived to me here in the UK, the easy step by step illustrations immediatley gave me the confidence ...             Eggbert and Eggberta (Pocket book special)15 reviews LAF Pocket Books, 1965 Eggbert & Eggberta I had the book when it was first published, loaned it & was never returned. Wanted one to give son & wife, expecting their first baby. I was delighted to find a copy as it is no longer in print. Thank you Amazon. The books should be reprinted, they are such a hoot & the generation, now, might find them delightful.             Face Off: How to Draw Amazing Caricatures & Comic Portraits15 reviews Harry Hamernik Impact, 2006 This is also in my library for my drawing students use. I used to do caricatures and this pretty much is what I did for over a year. This is a well designed instructional book... It gives many variations of eyes, noses, mouths, facial structure and hair style. I recommend this book as a handy reference source to my students.             Bruce McCall's Zany Afternoons14 reviews Bruce McCall Alfred A Knopf, 1982 If You're Looking This Up And Don't Have It, Buy It NOW If you are visiting this item in the Amazon.com online catalogue, then something special brought you here. You already know of the book, perhaps already own it, and you want to see what other say about it -- or you know nothing about it. If the latter is the case, something lucky and/or magic brought you here, and you owe it to yourself to BUY THIS BOOK NOW. Maybe you heard some snippet about ...             Barefoot Gen Volume Five: The Never-Ending War (Paperback)16 reviews Keiji Nakazawa Last Gasp, 2008 Easy way to get a sense of a historical event. The manga form of presentation makes reading about the prelude to this event easy and fast. The book seemed to be reasonably accurate with historical documentation and the visual format allowed the author to include detail that might otherwise have become difficult to work into the story. The clothing, clogs, air raid hoods, etc. that are be depicted add depth of information to a quick read.             Lives of the Musicians: Good Times, Bad Times (And What the Neighbors Thought)15 reviews Kathleen Krull, 2008 Hilarious! My Daughter loves this book. We both enjoy the stories and learning about all the silly, crazy and just plain weird things many of the composers did during their lifetime.              search for books 1980-1994, adventures, afternoons, analysis, anniversary, barefoot, caricature, caricatures, cartooning, cartoons, chapter, christopher, clothing, collection, complete, construction, definitely, drawing, eggberta, everything, greatest, handbasket, knitting, musicians, neighbors, never-ending, nothingness, paperback, portraits, prehistory books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
