Download or read book Career As a Cartoon Artist written by Institute for Career Research and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ANIMATORS AND CARTOONISTS DRAW on their talents every day, bringing colorful characters to life in a world where anything is possible. If you really love drawing, have a vivid imagination, a continuous flow of ideas, a tireless creative streak, and a willingness to work hard, you just might want to pencil yourself in for a career in animation and cartooning. Interestingly, a great deal of animation and cartooning is steeped in reality. Artists who create the best cartoon characters are those who can draw lifelike people and animals that seem to jump off a page or out of a movie screen. The characters appear ready to walk right into a viewer's life. How does an artist accomplish this? By having an eye for detail. These insightful cartoonists study the shape, size, and structure of the human body, as well as the bodies of animals, birds, and all living creatures that they might one day want to capture on the drawing board. In their minds, top animators and cartoonists have recorded thousands of human gestures, reactions, and expressions. They are keenly aware of the way people and animals move. Add to that, meticulous observations about the forms of endless objects around us, and you have the makings of magical creations of a surreal world where animals talk, plants cry, trees move, candlesticks give advice, and people fall off cliffs, get run over by steamrollers, and fall out of airplanes - only to live to tell the tale. This ability to draw reality precisely allows an artist to start distorting that drawing, contributing twists and turns, and blends of fantasy that seem perfectly plausible to the viewer. Elongated heads, stubby legs, pronounced wide-rimmed glasses, strange walks, and peculiar postures - all spring from the imagination of inventive animators and cartoonists as they give their characters distinctive physical attributes that will make them stand out and become memorable. They add movements, actions, and voices done by experienced actors who express the personalities of characters just as the artists envisioned them when these drawings started out as simple circles, triangles, and lines on a sketchpad. The test of an animator is to be able to draw a character that conveys feeling and emotion to an audience. A challenging career with limitless possibilities, the field of animation art requires you to be willing to start at the bottom and work your way up. This could mean years of developing someone else's ideas and concepts before you get a chance to show what you can do on your own. On the other hand, this field is growing so rapidly that there is a chance you can get your breakout assignment sooner rather than later, as artists with a fresh view are sought to create innovative work for multiple media, from magazines to computer games, comic books to commercials, animated television shows to major motion pictures. This new Careers Ebook contains a wealth of unbiased information about an occupational field, based on the latest national surveys.

Download or read book The Art of Caricaturing written by Mitchel Smith and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-19 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the writing and illustrating of this book my aim has been to produce a comprehensive and concise treatise on the art of caricaturing. It has been made as brief as is consistent with clearness and complete' ness. Although the text is brief, no illustrations Ttfere spared. The many plates illustrate all points necessary, and each of the points illustrated are explained in the text with reference to that particular illustration. In addition to the plates there are many caricatures of famous men included. Acting upon the assumption that it is easier to work if ones assignments are already made, Chapter XII has been made up of assignments and suggestions, which makes this book a complete course in caricaturing. If you obtain half as much pleasure and profit from the use of this book as I derived from writing, and especially illustrating it, I shall consider my time well spent. Wishing you much success. The necessary material used in drawing caricatures are few and inexpensive if we compare them to the tools of some of the professions, such as surgery, etc. The student of caricaturing should procure a number of drawing pens in various sizes. Gillotts drawing pens are perhaps the most widely used of all pens by cartoonists and pen apdtjnk artists in generaL For drawing cartoons and caricatures siw DEGREES70J DEGREESopand DEGREES DEGREES are the ones moat uattk-Qtber si?es and styles oipBSsmay be very useful; especiaU DEGREES DEGREESowl poin DEGREESens for drawing heavy lines for the outlines of cartoons. mttrtTBook are reproduced a number of caricatures that were outlined with a lettering pen which enabled the artist to get an- effect markedly original These lettering pens may be had m many sizes, and shaped with round, square or oblong nibs. The student, or, prospective student is advised to obtain some of these, because every artist should learn to manipulate the lettering pen and brush in lettering. Nearly -all art work requires more or less hand lettering. Other materials needed are, black waterproof drawing ink Higgins is very good and pencils for sketching arid drawing. All drawings should be completely drawn with pencil before drawing in ink. Art gum erasers, thumb tacks for fastening the drawing paper or board to the drawing board will also be needed. The most satisfactory material to make the drawings on is a good grade of Bristoli Board. But if the drawings are not intended for publication, a good quality of heavy, hard surface bond paper gives satisfactory results, and is also very good for sketching. Caricaturing requires a great deal of sketching, and one should keep a supply of good paper for this purpose, to record ideas and impressions before they escape from the mind never to return from that oblivion where all things mental and material eventually go. NICOLA After which sudden outburst of scholarship and philosophy, let us consider the manipulation of the pen, for the benefit of beginners who are not familiar with this medium of drawing. The drawing pen is held the same as in the proper position for writing; that is, with the thumb and first and second A variety of pen lines are used in cartooning and caricaturing. Fine lines, heavy lines, slow lines, fast lines, irregular lines DEGREES and shaky GLADSTONE lines are most frequently used. On Plate 1 are illustrations of various kinds of lines, dots, shading and etc. E, F and G are called Crosshatch lines and they are used for shading. There are some examples of Crosshatch in the illustrations m this book; especially, of F, Plate 1. Graded lines as in Q, R, S, T and U are drawn by increasing or decreasing the pressure on the pen; they are best drawn rapidly. Ends of lines dhat do not have their termination in other lines are usually drawn thusly. An example of this is Fig. 3, Plate 9. FREDERICK THE GREAT K on Plate 1 was made with a small camels hair brush, which every cart

Download or read book Hyperbole and a Half written by Allie Brosh and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

Download or read book How About Never Is Never Good for You written by Bob Mankoff and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoir in cartoons by the longtime cartoon editor of The New Yorker People tell Bob Mankoff that as the cartoon editor of The New Yorker he has the best job in the world. Never one to beat around the bush, he explains to us, in the opening of this singular, delightfully eccentric book, that because he is also a cartoonist at the magazine he actually has two of the best jobs in the world. With the help of myriad images and his funniest, most beloved cartoons, he traces his love of the craft all the way back to his childhood, when he started doing funny drawings at the age of eight. After meeting his mother, we follow his unlikely stints as a high-school basketball star, draft dodger, and sociology grad student. Though Mankoff abandoned the study of psychology in the seventies to become a cartoonist, he recently realized that the field he abandoned could help him better understand the field he was in, and here he takes up the psychology of cartooning, analyzing why some cartoons make us laugh and others don't. He allows us into the hallowed halls of The New Yorker to show us the soup-to-nuts process of cartoon creation, giving us a detailed look not only at his own work, but that of the other talented cartoonists who keep us laughing week after week. For desert, he reveals the secrets to winning the magazine's caption contest. Throughout How About Never--Is Never Good for You?, we see his commitment to the motto "Anything worth saying is worth saying funny."
