Best Cartoon Instruction May 4, 2008
This is the best cartooning and illustrationbr /book that has EVER been created. It accomplishes cartoons andbr /illustrating and explains everything. THIS isbr /the only book you will ever need. Don't let thisbr /book escape you, you will NEVER forgive yourself ifbr /you let this treasure get away. It is total visualbr /instruction. Easy to understand. Easy to attempt.br /It is the book I keep on the drawing desk next to mebr /because it is so complete. Wow!!!!!!---- Luisa Felix
This book is not just for comic artist.. March 3, 2008
What I like about this book is the fact that it is not only instructional for comic book artists but also for all artists. He writes and draws to enhance what he is teaching so that it is not even noticed by the reader that he is being taught. I have met Scott and he is as entertaining and funny in person as he is in his book.
Great if you're starting in comics or want to know where you might be going wrong March 1, 2008

Great book for beginning comic artists. You will not be taught technical details for how to draw or lay out panels, but you will be shown how to pace comics, shown some basic face anatomy in the context of emotion, given a few inspirational tips on choosing characters, and so on. Probably an interesting read even for people who aren't sure that they want to get into comics.
Another eye-opener December 31, 2007
Scott McCloud takes the insights that made him a celebrity in Understanding Comics and takes them further away in Making Comics, this time focusing in the craft itself. Much of his knowledge is useful not only to comic creators, but to people interested in visual and audiovisual arts, and sometimes to artists in general. His concepts and diagrams ("mmmmm... diagrams.") are clear and powerful. Scott McCloud: a theorist who likes to be understood.br /I loved the much needed notes sections and the activities and exercises he suggests, which take the book one step even further from a great theoretical book.br /
 Review from a non comic book person's perspective December 28, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I definitely don't care to make comics and although I occasionally pick-up a random issue or a graphic novel, I really don't read them much either. I was mainly interested in this book because I heard of good things about it and I wanted to be more informed about the process someone has to go through to make a comic. Although this book mainly focuses on creating a story, it held my attention and I feel like I walked away with a little more knowledge than I did before. I lot of the storytelling techniques I read in this book are things I've heard of in books about storytelling in other mediums, but it contains a lot of things specific to comics too. This is probably one of the more funny books I've read on the subject of storytelling and I like this approach better than a straightforward textbook approach. I don't think I'll be coming back to this book much for reference, but I'm glad I read it.
