About the Author Lee Judah Ames (January 8, 1921 – June 3, 2011 ) was an American artist noted for his Draw 50... learn-to-draw books. He was born in Manhattan, New York. His first job at age eighteen was at Walt Disney Studios. He has since led a career as an advertising artist, fine artist, cartoonist, designer, animation in-betweener, illustrator, and as an artist-in residence at Doubleday.

Reviews
The man’s an ex-Disney cartoonist so you’d think there’d be at least some helpful lessons here, but no. He just goes through the motions. The bizarrely random “Favorite Characters” are mostly pre-1950s
