Practical graphic figures by 8370786|Edwin George Lutz book cover

📘 Practical graphic figures
 by Edwin George Lutz

From dustjacket: How does the comic artist work? How does he achieve those inimitably droll delineations of feature and character that sometimes seem more real than reality? And how does his art differ from that of the ordinary artist or illustrator? Mr. Lutz, answering these questions and many others, has written an invaluable book for the beginner who would learn the technical side of graphic art. By the lavish use of practical diagrams and drawings, directions and explanations are made perfectly clear. The whole is a thoroughly practical and effective manual of instruction for the student of cartoons and fashions.
