Action! Cartooning
I have lots of instructional drawing books. Most of them looked good in the store, but turned out to be duds when I brought them home. Action! Cartooning by Ben Caldwell is one of the winners. Caldwell is not only an excellent and expressive cartoonist, he's also a good teacher.
My biggest problem is that my drawings have a tendency to look stiff. Caldwell's work is dynamic, even explosive. He's good at showing how to exaggerate activities such as running, jumping, or even standing and sitting. I plan to keep his book close at hand while drawing figures.
