Whether used for classroom instruction or individual study, Character Drawing provides the essential tools and techniques needed to confidently draw characters with clarity, accuracy, and creative impact.
Bio:
Cartoonist Dongho Kim has been dedicated to his work, working primarily on urban sketches. Instead of stopping at depicting scenery, he has created stories by filling these spaces with imaginary characters. After gaining a deep understanding of space and the placement of different parts and elements through this process, Kim has reached a point where he can teach the long-passed-down theory of perspective and point of view using his own illustrations. This version is a translation of the Korean book that accomplished that very feat.
