But then I started taking a how to draw course by TheGreatCourses and was open and receptive to authors in the field of art I've never even heard of such as Jack. I stumbled across this book whilst researching his figure drawing book and decided to get Cartooning instead because I am a BASIC beginner whose decided to kill her ego and just go all the way way back to the basics. I love how this book doesn't intimidate or condescend me at all and instead shows that art can be begun by the most basic lopsided child's circle and still have personality! He's basically breaking down the human anatomy into its most basic shapes instead of hounding you with fancy Latin words and different parts of the anatomy that are drawn so meticulously that you don't know whether you are supposed to copy them down or not. The book is formatted in a surprisingly self paced feel which is interesting given the time it was created in- a time when everyone had to go to college conform and get a degree and a job and then just stick with what you got. But I absolutely love how Jack gives you just the right amount of information. This book is almost like an artists recipe with equal parts words for info and the FYI folks and equal parts pictures examples and demos! As one reviewer said about giving it as a gift to a ten year old and the ten year old just automatically classified it under "oh a book." *wompwompwooooomp* I wouldn't recommend this to a child simply because it'sA) educationalB) meant for the serious doodlerBesides, children these days in the year 2017 don't read or draw anymore, so why would you give them a book? For their birthday? I'd only recommend this book to the parents of a child who is obviously gonna be our next Stan Lee , with a serious imagination that just cannot be contained in ones head :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Standard stuff for cartoonists. *by on Reviewed in the United States October 13, 2012* I first got this book years ago, playing around with cartooning and such. Been doing it ever since and have bought this book a few times over to replace used and beat up copies. This particular copy I bought for a 10 year old's birthday. And being 10 years old, he opened it and classified it under 'oh a book' and went outside to play with his birthday party buddies. But that's what kids do. Ha ha, what a shame, cause this book is great.Great reference book for different angle hands, postures, and especially the section on facial expressions, which is cross referenced with each other.There is a lot of information in this book, and very clearly, er, illustrated. Your reading it to help learn and practice drawing, not learn a history of cartooning or how to make a living doing this, and the book doesn't weigh itself down with these things.If you need a good practice reference book, pick it up. I would find it hard to believe, if anyone happened to mention, that any western cartoonist didn't have this on his desk or within easy reach.Standard book for a cartoon artist's collection.If your thinking of buying this but worrying about it's publication date, remember that cartooning hasn't changed that much. The mediums have, but you still have to cartoon the head and figure. Pencils and Ink will never die, regardless of the advancement of RGB graphic assimilation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beware ...I will make you into a cartoon *by on Reviewed in the United States January 18, 2026* A great cartooning book at a nice price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cartooning the Head and Figure - Drawing the Head and Figure: A How-To Handbook That Makes Drawing Easy - How to Draw Animals (Perigee) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/4131277-cartooning-the-head-and-figure](https://www.desertcart.no/products/4131277-cartooning-the-head-and-figure) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
