This is a well put together book offering a huge assortment of Toy Story characters to draw from all four films. The book is well laid out, bright colored and offers what appear to be fairly simple steps. This is meant for an older child or adult, as some of the steps do rely on a previous background in drawing. Many of these characters are more difficult that other traditional Disney characters to draw in terms of the shapes and details. One thing that would be helpful in this book is a stronger indication of the level of difficulty in drawing each character.

Learn to Draw Toy Story is a new step-by-step tutorial drawing guide for artists who want to learn to draw Toy Story characters. Released 4th June 2019 by Quarto on their Walter Foster Jr. imprint, it's 128 pages and available in paperback format.

The subjects are such a part of our cultural fabric at this point that they're universally recognizable and beloved. It's really cool to get a good step by step set of tutorials for drawing them which result in recognizable finished pictures. I was amazed to realize that the Toy Story franchise is 25 years old this year. This tutorial guide includes all the originals and newer characters such as Gabby Gabby, Forky, Duke Caboom, and Ducky & Bunny.

There is a very abbreviated introduction with some basic drawing exercises (not many). Very basic drawing instructions and information on tools and materials should be learned elsewhere. What this book does well are the step-by-step line drawn character tutorials. Each of them is 6-8 pages long with each subsequent drawing step highlighted in blue lines.

The typesetting and page layout are upbeat and appealing with a 'storyboard' feel to them and light vibrant colors which highlight the simple line drawings so they feel dynamic and attractive.

This is a cute book which would make for nice gift giving for a budding young artist, especially if it were bundled with a roll of drawing paper and some pencils/markers, etc.

Five stars.

We took our respective mothers to see Toy Story 4 and were a little disappointed. It wasn’t as good as the other 3, didn’t really have the heart of them but some of the new characters were fun. This book has some really great step by step instructions on how to draw those characters. I found them really easy to draw and follow along. Although mine didn’t have the true Disney Magic and somehow the eyes ended up looking dead. It was Woody watching his career die and his friends move on without him.

Really good for showing step by step how to create sketches of Toy Story characters. There is some overlap with the Learn to Draw Pixar book, but a lot of new ones. The last section of the book is the new movie, 4, which I haven’t seen yet. I attempted my original favorite the alien. Pleased with how my first attempt came out. This book is aimed at kids, but I found it good practice as well. It’s nice to see all the work that goes into these, really makes you appreciate animators!

Each image is followed up by putting blue lines on the last so you can see what changed in the evolution of drawing it. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for the digital ARC to review.

I loved, loved, loved this colorful book! It has all the Pixar Toy story characters in easy to follow illustrations with hints on proportions and tips to keep them looking authentic. The instructions are simple enough that an older child would be able to follow them. Highly recommend!

This book seems like a great idea. Unfortunately the only page that downloaded correctly was the cover.

Big Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

My family and I are HUGE Toy Story fans. This book is so cute! The directions for drawing each character are fairly simple, I can't wait to impress my kids with my ability to sketch their favorite characters, A digital copy of this book might be a bit hard, definitely get this one hardbound!

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

Just spent the morning going through this book with my son and it was a hit!

The book is very well laid out and easy to follow

There is a section on how to use the book with the basics of drawing another section with drawing excercises and then each character has there own section with little helpful hints.

Good fun book that is perfect to to give kids something fun to do during the summer holidays.

Great pictures and very engaging. I felt that this was more appropriate for older children. There are steps in how to draw each character, just shows phases. While it does give the process, readers will need to be advanced in their drawing when utilizing this book.

Brilliantly ant guide for step by step drawing with all your favourite toy story characters, beautifully presented and easy to follow, great for kids and also adults

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

my son was so excited when i showed him this book! He’s 9 and loves learn to draw books. this one was great as most of the disney ones are easy to follow and my son loves putting his own creative touch on it!

If you’ve ever seen these Walter Foster Jr. Learn to Draw books (or any other short and simple how to draw books), then you probably have an idea of what to expect. The lessons are step by step drawings that use blue lines show your current steps while the black lines show you the whole picture up until that point.

There are some tips here and there where people are likely to get it wrong (ex. Don’t use super straight lines for the nose) , but it replies almost entirely on the step by step images to teach you how to draw these characters. Good for kids and beginner artists.

Projects included:
- Woody
- Buzz Lightyear

A fun book full of bright pictures and step by step instructions to draw your favourite characters from the Toy Story franchise, as an adult, I’m not sure there were enough simple steps for my limited drawing skills, however I’m sure children would enjoy trying to follow each step to create their own pictures. Each character had illustrations from the film dotted around the page and a short description of the character, a must for any Toy Story fan.

I love Toy Story! But as it turns out my love of Buzz Lightyear does not translate to being able to draw him.

This is an absolutely lovely book so colorful and appealing that any child will love it but it would also be happily used by adults (like me!). I have only attempted a few of the drawings so far, the Aliens and Forky went well, but I am going to need more practice to master Buzz or Woody.

The instructions are clear, concise and the step by step drawings incredibly useful. Maybe with enough time, I could become a Pixar storyboarder.. well, probably not, but that's not the book's fault!
