Although this book is for kids, I want to have the printed version for myself. It is so cute. It is easy to follow all the instruction. But all the drawing is quite tiny. I think it will be perfect if the size is bigger. |

How To Draw Almost Everyhting for Kids encourages children and even adults to give drawing a try. I like the way you can practice by tracing before trying to draw freehand. I wish I had this book growing up. |

I received this e-book ARC through Net Galley from Quarto Publishing Group - Quarry in exchange for a truthful review. A how-to book for kids who want to draw a variety of items in a clean, simplified, cartoon-y style. This short book (98 pages) comes with loads of examples. Each example (faces, people, clothing, animals, flowers, food, everyday objects, etc.) comes with a panel showing the finished product, then a few tracing areas to practice drawing by tracing, followed by a few areas to practice drawing freehand and to add embellishments. Interspersed with the examples are several more in-depth step-by-step examples with tips on how to achieve the finished product. I found the drawing examples to be really cute and pleasing to the eye. I would recommend for any child who is interested in learning/practicing drawing/cartooning. While the authors are both Japanese, the only illustrations which a non-Japanese child might not be familiar with were the Japanese toy, Kendama and Japanese Chess. |

This book really does help you learn how to draw almost everything for kids. Now I don't know if I will become a better artist after looking at this book, but I think it has helped with some things. Perhaps with practice I will get better. I do think it has improved my ability to draw somethings such as faces and people. It is designed well to help with the drawing process. |
This book is great for kids, but even adults could use this book for learning how to draw. I am not at all an artist. I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. i love how this book shows you what you will be drawing then you gives you spaces to trace over their lighter lines, then blank spaces for you to practice. Heck even I was able to draw with this book. The book is broken down into sections like : faces, food, everyday things, icons, animals and more. It gives you coloring patterns, color schemes, different types of pens and more. Like I said this boo is great for kids and adults alike. I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review. |
This is not just a how-to book, it is a book with exercises for children to learn how to draw "almost everything" by following some easy steps: observe, trace, freehand, change it up. A short but informative guide on materials prefaces the first exercises. Each topic is introduced on a single page by step-by-step drawings and is followed by several pages of drawing exercises. I'd recommend it to children aged 8 and up. |
This step by step manual for drawing enables readers to develop their confidence and experience the with different materials. It has space within the book to draw and explains each step for those who work better when they know the mechanics. |
