Synopsis

All of our Bruce Blitz books and kits have been hugely popular with apprentice cartoonists around the world. Now the 4-time Emmy(R)-nominated artist brings a monkey-see-monkey-do dimension to his teaching by packaging a DVD with this latest book. Teachers have been begging Bruce to step off the page and into the room to show all the how-to's in the fast-paced antic-rich style that's made his public television show so popular. With Dynamite Video Drawing, aspiring cartoonists of all ages can learn Blitz cartooning techniques in the book, while also following along on the DVD. It's a revolutionary way to learn how to draw. Not to mention fun!

About this title

From the Author

To all of my fellow cartoonists!  I know you will enjoy my DVD & Book!  I wrote this book to include all of the Basics needed to begin drawing wacky cartoons.  You and I will take it step by step, to learn how to create cartoon heads, expressions (which make your characters appear to be thinking), action poses, adding life and a personality to Inanimate Objects and lots more!  I'll show you different art supplies and how to use them.  Also, I have included a favorite of my TV audience called "Doodle Tricks".  Doodle tricks are when you take numbers, letters and words and turn them into a finished cartoon!!   There is also a chapter on cartoon animals.  As I was drawing these animals, I thought about how much some animals seem to look like people (or is it the other way around?) so I added somes pages on that as well!  I had a ton of fun writing this book and producing this DVD, because just like you... I love drawing cartoons!
