What I'm reading… #jackhamm

All thumbnails are from imagination with no refs (because at this stage subject matter doesn’t matter, just a study on composition and all).

- the principle of “the threes”.

I recently picked up this copy of Jack Hamm’s “Drawing & Cartooning for Laughs” at a @halfpricebooks , and have been meaning to share it with you all. Jack Hamm was a cartoonist, illustrator and drawing instructor who mostly worked in the first half of the 20th century, and this book showcases some nice samples of his work. Another highlight for me are the series of strange artistic exercises peppered in throughout the book like composing faces from numerals or “The Five Point Challenge.” . #cartooning #illustration #drawing #jackhamm #vintagebooks (at Berwyn, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcnzecSr2A_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Since it's #printdayinmay I thought I'd outline my process in a series of posts. Here are some sketches I made this morning. If you swipe you'll see the image I took inspiration from. It's from a book called Cartooning The Head & Figure by #jackhamm I think I own all of his books and can not recommended them highly enough. . . . . #arnhempd2020 #speedballpd2020 #pegasuspd2020 #essdeepd2020 #cranfieldpd2020 #zeamayspd2020 #jpppd2020 #washiartspd2020 #mcclainspd2020 #linocut #printmaking #blockprint #linograbado #monster (at Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_r3IOPA_qk/?igshid=1ea9gtss7ifyq
