Adventures In Cartooning: How to Turn Your Doodles Into Comics

by James Sturm, Andrew Arnold, Alexis Frederick-Frost

first second | March 31, 2009 | Trade Paperback

In this action-packed cartooning adventure, kids will have as much fun making comics as reading them! 

 

Once upon a time . . . a princess tried to make a comic.  And with the help of a magical cartooning elf, she learned how - well enough to draw her way out of an encounter with a dangerous dragon, near-death by drowning, and into her very own adventure!  Like the princess, young readers will discover that they already have the drawing and writing skills it takes to make a comic - they just need a little know-how.  And Adventures in Cartooning supplies just that.

Perfect for Budding Cartoonists

A delightful book that tells a story of a knight who wants to fight a dragon, so off he goes on his adventure but along the way a Magic Elf accompanies him and teaches him the art of cartooning. Illustrations are drawn in Ed Emberley style and Ed is given a nod for his inspiration at the back where instructions on how to draw the knight, elf and horse are given. Throughout the book cartooning lingo is introduced and the aspects that make up a comic: panels, bubbles, sound effects, etc. All within the confines of a delightful, humourous story. A very unique book which will bring out the cartoonist in any aspiring artist who may feel overwhelmed at getting started. An actual child's example is shown at the back of the book. Highly recommended.
