Ivan Brunetti’s little classroom-in-a-book Cartooning: Philosophy and Practice is probably my favourite book about drawing comics.
Brunetti gets to the heart of what makes a comic a comic. It’s not a book that tries to teach you the right way to draw, or the proper tools to use. Rather it focuses on the philosophy of comics-making and the distillation of both art and story into simple pictograms and beats.
Previously only available for sale with Comic Art Annual #9 from the now-defunct Buenaventura Press, I’m glad to see that this little handbook has found a new home with Yale University Press.
