The best cartoonists jam-pack their work with action that moves the story along. So how do you capture this kind of motion in your work? Whoosh! 250 Ways to Get Motion into Your Drawings can help.

• The importance of a good silhouette
• Using lines of action to help create character's gestures
• How to use basic shapes to suggest movement
• The best positions to increase drama in a scene
