Publisher’s Note

After the grand success of Drawing & Painting Course-Volume I and Volume II V&S Publishers has now come up with this exclusive book on learning the art and technique of drawing cartoons called Drawing Cartoons. The world famous cartoonist, R.K. Laxman, had once said that we have so much to say and so much to ask, and yet, we do not know how to express ourselves. Well, this is so true, and the best way to express that if one has an inclination towards art, is through cartoons.

In this book, Drawing Cartoons, the author has emphasised on the method and technique on how to draw and paint a cartoon easily. The first and foremost thing one has to imbibe before learning the art of drawing cartoons is to be patient. Then, of course, study in detail the original picture or the subject of one's drawing. Once the actual figure and features of the given subject have been more or less, then one can use one's own imagination and interpretation to give his/her unique touch to the cartoon figure
