· Strong, cutting-edge imagery shows artists how to make crime pay · Superstar author Christopher Hart explores a new genre · Perfect for anyone interested in drawing for comic books or graphic novels
Aspiring artists, lonely, desperate--this is your chance to grab the gold ring of the hottest style around: noir. Windswept streets, dark shadowy figures, reckless women, gleaming pistols, men without conscience, boulevards of fear...they're all here in Drawing Crime Noir. Extensive instruction, including a complete tutorial on how to turn an ordinary comic-book scene into a crime noir scene, shows how to create the moody world of noir, from using shadows to create intense moods and suspense, to drawing the swirling capes and cloaked faces of tormented superheroes; the trench coats and dark glasses of nihilistic antiheroes; the dark suits of mobbed-up politicians on the take and the hit men who keep order; and the form-fitting dresses and snakeskin shoes of the sexy women who would kill a man as soon as kiss him.

Film-Noir Instruction Cartooning book:
Excellent book that teach how to draw comic-strips
and stories for Film-Noir style images. It succeeds
in defining the Film-Noir basics, and has beautiful
illustrations and is an entertaining book too. It
has a tough attitude, like its subject. So cool!
This is a great buy! I strongly recommend it, and I
oughta know, because I am a cartoonist and I am fit
to judge it. Don't let this instruction book escape
you, you will regret not getting it. It belongs on

Simple, fun and educative:
This book is written in a very entertaining matter. Normally I mostly go through art books reading sporadically but this book I actually read from cover to cover. Fortunately the images are no disappointment either. Best of all though is that the tips are actually helpful and honest. I certainly recommend this book for anyone getting in to the noir style.
Very Good Book:
Great tips for using expressions, postures and shadows. Package arrived in good conditions and on the expected time.
Crime Noir:
Great job of deveoping this genere. Hart, gets to the point-it is all about the mood and drama! His artistic ability to state the obvious shows that he dosen't mess around with the sissified PC crowd. Attitude with brooding emotion is what this life is all about and Hart is the master at pushing you in the right direction to capture this in your art.
