Overall this seems far above average (like many Impact titles) among the how-to-draw-cartoon/comics/manga books on the shelves. The author gives serious advice instead of just giving a bunch of examples to fill pages.
One thing that seems really weird. The inked and colored versions of the animals look crappy. Mediocre, pedestrian. The penciled versions of the exact same drawings look outstanding -- fresh, alive. I can't put my finger on what made such a difference, but something did. Dude needs another inkier, or to try a different inking technique!
IMHO of course.

This cartoon manual by Harry Hamernik (author of the equally excellent carticature manual - "Face Off")neatly bridges the gap between beginner and expert instruction. It does this via a brief introduction to materials, leading in turn to basic shapes, anatomy and character design - all in an easy to follow, step by step method which will have even beginners able to draw the basics by page 31.
What it then does, which will be useful to more experienced cartoonists who may not have specialised in cartoon animals before, is to present over seventy pages of "practice gallery" featuring projects on a wide range of animals - from chimpanzees to crocadiles and snakes to sharks - which again are basic enough for the beginner, but also rich enough in character for the more experienced artist to use as a base for detailed work or for animation.
All in all, I would highly recommend this book as a great introduction to anyone interested in drawing cartoon animals, at whatever level.

This book is nothing short of spectacular. The author takes you step by step with clear and concise instructions on how to draw cartoon animal characters. Having owned Harry's first book, "Face off". I knew this one would be a good book I bought the book for my 9 year old son who loves to draw. We have only owned this book for about a month and i have noticed his skills in drawing have gotten a lot better. This book has material for pretty much all skill levels. If your looking to learn how to draw cartoon animals, look no further because this book really has it all. I give this book an A+. Looking forward to more great books from this author!!

This is an excellent book. I am a new cartoonist and I've been looking through a lot of books over the past few weeks. Most of them suffer from the same problem - they focus too much on showing off the author's own art and fill the pages with huge pictures while providing little instruction on how the reader can produce their own works.
This book is different. It has very little filler. Spends one or two pages on materials, rather than 20 like in a lot of other books. The author spends time telling you how to construct each different part of the animal and teaches you tricks that will allow you to draw them from any angle facing any direction without having them appear "off." He teaches you how to place the features on the face properly and how to construct a proportional body. Hamernik is genuinely interested in teaching the readers how to create their own animals and every picture he shows in the book is just an example, rather than something to just copy.
Like I said, the author seems genuinely interested in teaching as best as he possibly can. He even has a facebook group where you can post your cartoonimals and receive feedback. Pretty impressive, and he doesn't charge money for it.
This is probably the best book out there if you want to learn to draw cartoon animals. I've looked at a lot of others and they are more focused on just teaching you how to copy their drawings, which is alright for a beginner like myself... but eventually you will want to learn the principals that will allow you to create great looking, original pictures. This is the book for you if that is what you are trying to achieve.
