Book Overview

Famous Artists Cartoon Course: The Comic Head, produced by Famous Artists Cartoon Course, Inc., begins with the balloon shape as the basic structure for a cartoon head. It shows how curved center and eye lines establish direction, position, and a sense of three-dimensional form.

The lesson then covers turning and tilting the head, changing the basic head shape, varying the location of the features, drawing hair, and creating different character types. It concludes by examining how eyes, mouths, eyebrows, and head gestures communicate emotions and personality.
