Although his education prepared him to become a cartoon animator, he has broadened his capabilities by sharing his talent with a wide range of design industries. "Design can be expressed in many different ways. An artist can make a design that fits in any form of artwork as long as it's embellished to fit into a theme, style or category which will help portray the main idea or provide a clear visualization to the viewer." -Rene ErazoThis drawing book is his first written and illustrated book published in the year 2011. This book has been made possible with all the guidance and support given by his family, friends and people that have been inspired by Rene's self determination. As a special thanks, he shares the following words of hope with his readers."My mission is to embrace the inner love that I have for cartoon characters by creating over 45 new innovative characters that I can share with today's generation of aspiring artists. One of my strongest beliefs is that growth is possible only if knowledge is passed from one individual to another, therefore; my goal is to produce a book showing all the steps that I know which are important in the development of new characters. My book has been designed to guide new talent through all the vital steps of character art. I hope my book helps reach into the minds of talented and striving artists in ways that will expand their cartooning and visualization skills, as well as their observation and practical skills. This book will also allow me as a toon animator, to share my professional art experience with those that desire be a great artist, too." -Rene Erazo Although drawing cartoon characters is his favorite past time, this talented artist creates many other visual types of concepts.
