Drawings in Media

The drawings appeared in prehistoric times but with the time, draws evolved and take different forms. From comics book to caricature.

BD was born in the 50s in France. They're bubble drawings where the person's talking. Comic book has long been known in a form that appeared in the press. But in 60s it becomes the 9th art. Originally it was for children but now it is for everyone. It can be found in newspapers, book and even on the internet thanks to its boom in the 80s.

For example, Comics as Asterix draw by Albert Underzo died recently.

Then there was the arrival of the caricature. What's a caricature ?

A caricature is a drawing which, through distortion, exaggeration of details, tends to ridicule the model. Currently, many newspapers do as Charlie Hebdo best known. But there are others. There caricatures ridicule many subjects without being afraid to say things. A lot of cartoonists in newspapers draw about politics and current affairs.

We quickly realize that drawings are means of expression that everyone can see through social networks and media. In spite of all it is necessary to be careful because sometimes these drawings turn to ridicule can lead to tragic ends that no one wants.
