The new Quid Pro Books edition is a Digitally Remastered Book(TM)-like no other publisher's reproduction. The process eliminates underlines, stray marks, printer artifacts, and other distracting errors found in other modern reprints. While other versions are copies of a used library book, Quid Pro's edition is a cleaner and more professional presentation. NOTE: although this description may appear under other publisher's versions, only the Quid Pro edition offers the features noted above. Look for the yellow and red cover, and the publisher name listed in ISBN data below.]

This foundational book is fully illustrated but does not stop there-its text walks the reader through all aspects of this art, and includes specific guidance on: pen lines and materials, expressions, exaggeration, animals, comic figures, action, walking and running, shading and shadows, technique, and lettering. Exercises and subject suggestions follow in the last chapter. The book has been consulted for years for the fundamentals of this entertaining art.
