Product Description
A former Marvel cartoonist and one of the most talented young artists in this very hip field, Ben Caldwell now delivers his thrilling follow-up to Action! Cartooning. Fantasy! Cartooning is ideal for all kids and adults who love the Lord of the Rings movies, anticipate the Christmas 2005 release of The Chronicles of Narnia film, or have ever read a Harry Potter book. As before, Ben does not merely teach readers how to draw a line here or a circle there; he provides much, much more. Artists will find true insider tips on how to create mind-blowing scenes, awe-inspiring monsters, bigger-than-life heroes, and really incredible, magical landscapes. And because Ben Caldwell knows the fantasy genre inside out, he explains all the complex stories and legends behind each image, too.

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-10–In a refreshing change from what has come to be the norm, Caldwell does not teach readers how to draw manga-style characters. Instead, his drawing style is more a blend of modern Disney (Hercules, Mulan), Don Bluth (Dragon's Lair), and the Cartoon Network (Powderpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars). Unfortunately, only Caldwell's sketches are included, and not his colored and finished drawings. Although the rough lines are dynamic and eye-catching, a whole book of unfinished art is enough to try the most generous reader's patience. Still, Caldwell shows original thinking, and his technique is exciting, modern, and unique.–Steev Baker, Kewaskum Public Library, WI

Fantasy! Cartooning
please, can you tell me what about with my purhase? because I don't get it yet
Another fantastic book by Ben Caldwell
I love Ben Caldwell's style, and after lapping up "Action Cartooning," I bought this one. Fantastic book! More great character designs. Man I love his stuff. Sometimes his comments are a little weird ("Sidhe had smaller arm sockets than mortals...the shoulder was still the thickest part of the arm...") Like, I don't know if there's a particular *way* to draw a Sidhe or if you draw a Sidhe with thicker arms it's suddenly not a Sidhe or whatever...but the drawings are so good that that doesn't bother me. Fantastic book. Fiiiiiive stars.
No book, only pencils
Well, i've recently bought this item, but i didn't find the book, or the special papers inside. I've only got a few colored pencils.
I tried to contact amazon but i get no answer.
I think i've ben stolen. For me, this is a very expensive colored pencils box.
Don't buy this item, it has no book.
