The Naked Cartoonist: A New Way to Enhance Your Creativity, by Bob Mankoff

“What’s so funny? Mankoff knows best. He also knows how you can find your own personal voice and mesage, how you can learn from the masters of the past, how you can transform a current event into a comic tour-de-force…even how you can incorporate telling lies and taking naps into your daily work routine—and justify it.”

Description

New/Used. Price varies. “Along with some help from his well-known cartoonist friends, Bob Mankoff [cartoon editor of The New Yorker] takes you on an entertaining words-and-pictures journey through the art, craft, and zen of cartooning, along the way providing lots of personal anecdotes about his development as an artist, and about life at the world’s most urbane magazine. But you don’t have to be an aspiring cartoonist to appreciate The Naked Cartoonist. Mankoff’s wisdom, and his practical yet whimsical approach to the creative process, are designed to benefit anyone who has ever stared at a blank piece of paper or canvas and dreamed of transforming it into something truly original (and maybe even commercial).”

You can borrow this book from the Internet Archive Library.
