Cartoon Books

[Chяis]

Are there any good books out there on drawing in a more cartoony style?

I have my own designs/style for cartoon characters but I'm just looking for ways to better them. So if you know of any please post some here.

The girl I did kinda resembes a Cinderella type of style, still keeping a strong realism but with a bit of cartoon added, I'd like my drawings to be more cartoony and less realistic more like a new age of cartoons like Lilo and Stitch.

The best cartoonist are well grounded in basic anatomy. I am sure there are plenty of good books out there to get, but unfortunately, I do not know of any off the top of my head.

I know my basic anotomy.

I'm just more looking for the best one to get, I don't want to buy a book with hardly any really usefulness.

hmmm...as far as books on cartooning go i don't recommend any. instead study techinque of artists you like. spend more time than you've ever imagined finding artists on the web you enjoy. whatever medium you work in...get to know that. buy books on that medium, come to understand it. no one can tell you how to 'cartoon' cartooning is based upon a personal set of symbols used to represent reality that each artist has to develop on his own. learn to draw, learn to paint. that's it and let your own style slowly develop, don't try to have an immediate style at the get go...it'll look forced

I have to styles in mind that I'd like to draw a little better


Style one:

Though I can't remember his name he helped in designing Invader Zim.

Style two:

I prefer both these artist though I find the second style hardest to draw because I keep going back into detail and realism while I work on it.

Drawing a person with out shading or many physical features always gets me because I start adding more to the face until it almost looks realistic.
