- It turned out really cute! I like the easy steps you did. I made some pages about drawing cats and ghosts on Squidoo and they've been fairly popular with the kids.

This is my personal favorite cartooning book. If I were only able to have one cartooning book this would be it.
Cartoon Cool: How to Draw New Retro-Style Characters
Amazon Price: $5.74 (as of 06/01/2012)
This book makes a very nice into into the world of cartoons. More and more, cartoons are reverting back to the old style of retro cartooning that we used to see. If you want to learn how Samurai Jack came to look like he does, or ever wondered about the technique behind Dexter's Laboratory, then this book is for you.
