Drawing the New Adventure Cartoons: Cool Spies, Evil Guys and Action Heroes

In this book award-winning author Christopher Hart teaches young adult artists, step-by-step, how to draw cartoons using one of today’s most popular techniques: the eye-catching teen adventure style, found in such major animated TV shows as Phineas and Ferb, The Fairly OddParents, and Kim Possible. It’s fresh and new, decidedly humorous, and even relatively easy to draw.

With this fun collection, Chris gives young readers a chance to create their own characters and worlds. These cool stories feature ordinary people thrust into thrilling situations—teens with dual identities, who live as regular students by day and become secret spies on weekends. The art straddles the line between comic book and cartoony; it offers strong male and female heroes, and showcases a colorful cast of sinister villains and entertaining sidekicks.

These exuberant characters will encourage readers to replicate every drawing in the book—as will Chris’s trademark friendly, personal, and thorough coverage of art principles.
