Drawing cartoons

[zita-green]

My nephew wants to learn to draw cartoons. I would like to buy him a 'how to' book for his birthday but don't know where to start. He is nine. Anyone know of a good title to look for?

I'm guessing at 9, he's not into drawing Manga ... yet.

Many thanks, NazNomad. These look ideal. Fraid I don't know who Manga is. That gives my age away' I'll bet.

Manga / Anime .. the (usually) manic Japanese cartoons, typically with characters like this ...

The best book, by far, for a lad of that age is:

'How to draw cartoons' By 'Maddox'
