Title: A Wonderful Resource for Cartoonists and Comic Book Artists alike
Review: Virtually Maria (Virtual Trilogy)I came across this book when I was looking for reference material to illustrate my Captain Cockle childrens' books and have kept it near my drawing board ever since.What I like about it is that it gives a very wide range of material in terms of expressions, angles and different ages that I have not come across in any other book of its type. It also uniquely shows some examples of how some of the photos have been turned into caricatures or cartoons (both of humans and animals) that give an interesting insight into how they might be used.My only criticism (which I see I share with a few other reviewers) is that it is difficult to lay this book down on a drawing table without it flipping shut again due to its paperback format. Spiral binding would have been better, but that's a small price to pay for such a valuable resource. I look forward to a companion manual perhaps on figures, hands or activities.
