Doodletopia Cartoons

My Thoughts:

I am super impressed with this book. The instructions are really easy to follow and conveyed in step-by-step illustration with a written  typed out “hints” to make the process a bit easier to accomplish.

Towards the end of the book I was happy to see a section titled “Write in Cartoon Calligraphy.” In this section are instructions on how t successfully write in Letters With Cute Icons (the example is adorable, FLOWER), Deep Letters (3-D), Balloon Letters (letters in balloons), The Font of Doom (letters that are dripping), Chipped Brick (letters made to look like a brick wall with peeling paint), Gothic and Halloween (spooky with cobwebs and skulls), Marquee: A Star is Drawn (letters on a marquee sign), and Kooky Letters (the he's are awesome, each letter is unique).

Another section that I really like is Draw Ridiculous Inventions. These are amazing. In one areas of this section there is a boy on a seesaw. He is playing alone. His seesaw is built into a machine where balls fall from one bucket to another. On their way between buckets they land on the opposite side of the seesaw to that on which the boy is seated. When the balls hit that side it causes the seesaw to move up and down. Another is a foot pedal powered blender.

The designs in this will be very helpful for school projects due for school that my children soon have coming up. I am going to have to purchase two more copies of this to please my children because there is already a tug-of-war claiming of the book in progress.

Recommendation:

I highly recommend this to both adults and children no matter their artistic skill level.
