One of today's most popular trends in cartooning is the eye-catching teen adventure style - the type found in many popular animated TV shows. It's fresh and new, decidedly humourous and even relatively easy to draw. These cool stories feature ordinary teens thrust into thrilling situations - teens with dual identities, who live as regular students by day and become secret spies on weekends. The art straddles the line between comic book and cartoons; offers strong male and female heroes and showcases a colourful cast of sinister villains and entertaining sidekicks. These exuberant characters will encourage readers to replicate every drawing in the book - as will Chris' trademark personal and thorough coverage of art principles and to create their own.
