How to Draw Cartoons the Old-Time Way! Instructional Cartooning Book from 1920's

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

Warning: there's some very politically-incorrect caricature material in here. What people thought was funny back then just makes people mad today. Don't say I didn't warn you!
