Crowdfunding Spotlight: Be Ready for the Etherington Brothers next Kickstarter!

How to THINK When You DRAW vol.2

If you’re an aspiring artist, comic artist or cartoonist, then you probably already have Lorenzo Etherington‘s hugely popular, utterly brilliant How To Think When You Draw Books… and if you haven’t got them, there’s good news! There will be another chance to get your hands on copies, as part of a new crowdfunding campaign for Lorenzo’s equally talented brother Robin Etherington‘s How to Write book, launching in October!

The first 200-page How To Think When You Draw Book book raised £250,000 on Kickstarter. The second, equally massive book, only available via Kickstarter, raised £477,000 ($623,000), funded by 7,199 backers and smashing records to become the world’s most financially successful art book of all time, the UK’s most successful book and the UK’s most successful Kickstarter in the comics category.

Crammed with drawing tutorials by Lorenzo Etherington and covering an enormous range of subjects, designed to benefit every skill level, from the absolute beginner to the seasoned professional, both are coming back to Kickstarter, in the higher tiers of Robin’s How to WRITE campaign this October.

However, the only way to get the books is to join the Secret Launch Club Mailing List by sending “Add me, Lorenzo!” to etheringtonbrothers@yahoo.co.uk

“We won’t be announcing the launch date anywhere online ahead of the campaign going live,” Lorenzo cautions. “My drawing tutorials books will not be on sale anywhere in shops or online outside of Kickstarter for at least the next two yearsS, so this is a very rare chance to get them!”
