Book Overview

How to Draw Cartoons is an art reference and instructional guide by Wikelionx. Its lessons begin with geometric shapes and three-dimensional forms, then apply those ideas to facial structure, anatomy, proportions, shading, and character details.

The book explains that the presented studies were made during 2012 and 2013. They were influenced by different periods and varied artists of 2D animation, including painters, illustrators, designers, and friends. Some drawings are based on pre-existing characters, while others were created by the author with a focus on animation.
