This DVD offers 23 lively and informative lessons on comic strip drawing. Scene selection and lesson brevity make this DVD perfect for short drawing lessons in the classroom. A slideshow of guides and blank comic strips accompany the DVD. "It always bothered me when I watched artists on TV showing you how to draw. Their hand was always in the way," Gene Hamm, cartoonist and president of Hammination, told TDmonthly. "I designed this DVD so the line draws itself, so you can always see how the drawing develops."
