I love this book so much and I’m buying it. We are big fans of Toy Story in our family and I can’t wait to draw more characters from this. With just an ink pen (not an ideal tool for drawing really) and a note card I was able to draw Woody (and a pretty good one) on a second try. Forky, Jessie, Bo Peep and Rex you are next! I think my sons will love that I can draw these characters and when they get a little older they will enjoy using this too. This book is a must for any Disney fan!

Learn to Draw Disney/Pixar Toy Story Collector's Edition by Walter Foster Creative Team is a book I requested and the review is voluntary. This is such a colorful and informative book that it will delight kids everywhere! It's probably made for a bit older kids to follow the directions. There are step by step directions to draw many childhood favorites with loads of pictures to show you how. Not only that there is extra info, behind the scenes of each character! That really was my favorite! For all fans, now you can draw your favorite characters! Excellent book!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the arc!

This book was fun for children and adults of all ages. The directions were demonstrated in an easy-to-follow manner and featured beloved characters. I can easily see this book being a popular read in my library.

This book was received as an ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster, Jr. in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

Disney is very popular with our young patrons and community. As a kid, I have always wanted to know how to draw Disney Characters and create my own comic or even cartoon old school style. This book gives a lot of special techniques that are easy to follow so that any kid can become a cartoonist and draw characters such as Woody, Buzz, Ham, Slinky Dog, Mr. Potato Head, Jessie and my favorite character Rex. I know the children at our library will go crazy for this book and will want to decorate our library even more with all of their cartoon drawings.

We will consider adding this title to our JNon-Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

I’m a planner & journaling kind of girl! And I love planning and being artistic as I can in my planners and my art journal.

With Toy Story just coming out with their newest installment you have no idea how excited I was to score an advance copy from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review!! I absolutely LOVED this book! I love to draw but I admit I’m not the best and this was a very user friendly how to guide on drawing all of your Toy Story favorite characters!!

This book is fab! Easy to follow and shows how to create the fun characters we all know and love. Makes a nice independent activity for kids to do! (Or adults)

Great for mid level kids, as the book works solely in the basic shapes method. Great resource for a TOY STORY fan who wants to learn to draw. Would absolutely give it as a gift to the kids in my family.

I was given this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This how-to-draw book is intended for older artists. It has wonderful details that really help to make the drawings authentic to the source material. This is not the size of a usual book from this category. It is huge! There are over a hundred pages with in-depth looks at all of your favorite characters from all four films. If you haven't seen the fourth film yet, there are no spoilers.

Perfect for young artists and Pixar perfectionists. This book is absolutely celebrated in my house and I highly recommend it.

After an introduction to art tools and materials, a series of drawing exercises invites artists to warm up and learn a few basic drawing techniques. Then the real fun begins! You'll find step-by-step drawing projects for Woody, Buzz, Bo Peep, Forky, and more!

The easy-to-follow instructions in this book will guide you through the drawing process; each step builds upon the last until the Toy Story character is finally complete. You just need to grab a pencil, a piece of paper, and your copy of Learn to Draw Disney•Pixar Toy Story; then flip to the character you want to draw. You’ll draw the basic shapes shown in step one, and move on to step two, step three, and keep going! The new lines in each step are shown in blue, so you’ll know exactly what to draw. After adding all the details in each step, darken the lines you want to keep and erase the rest. Finally, add color to your drawing with felt-tip markers, colored pencils, watercolors, or acrylic paints. Plus, learn some fun facts about the Toy Story characters as you learn to draw them. Brief character descriptions and art instruction from professional Disney•Pixar animators round out this exciting artistic adventure.

I love Toy Story and was so excited to get this book! There are so many characters that I love that are in this book and I can't wait to draw them all. It has easy to follow steps, especially for people like me who aren't particularly talented in the artistic department. Perfect for all ages!

A very fun book for those who are interested in drawing or who want to enhance their drawing skills. Step by step instructions help make attempts at drawing the characters less frustrating. An awesome activity for people who want something to do!

With the newest Toy Story movie just released, this book is sure to be a hit with everyone who wants to keep a little more Woody and Buzz in their life (I'll leave that right here!). This is a beautiful book filled with color depictions of all the majors. The author gives detailed instructions on how to draw these characters but what I love most is that they show you what NOT to do while sketching your piece. My granddaughters favorites? Mr. Potato Head and Buttercup, which she correctly identified from her grandmothers sketches! I would say this book is most suitable for older children as the steps may prove to be too difficult for the younger ones to sketch. Many thanks to Quarto Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC (all opinions expressed in this review are authentically mine).

Love the characters from Toy Story and want to be able to draw them? Then this book is for you. It provides step-by-step instructions for drawing all your favorite characters, like Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, and even Forky! There are drawing tips and tricks interspersed throughout the book. The pictures of the characters are well done and enjoyable just on their own. This book presupposes some drawing ability on the part of the child or adult.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group - Walter Foster Jr. and NetGalley for an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

my kids loved this book. We used the techniques to enlarge the characters and paint them on their bedroom walls. They then used acrylic paints to colour in and a magic marker to outline. We are all pleased with results and now their friends want to do the same. I’ve already recommended this book to other mothers. A great wet day filler now the schools are on vacation.

I wished I could have reviewed this book, but unfortunately, the book would not open for me. I would have to buy when I get a chance and share my review then. I am so sorry.

My daughter is a massive Toy Story fan and was really excited to try drawing them. The book really helped her to properly look at what shapes make up the characters and she's been trying really hard to copy the drawings. The only issue we've had is that the format the book comes in on netgalley is not compatable with a lot of our devices, then when we did finally get it to work it's difficult to use an electronic version. I think this is the sort of book that would be much better as a hard copy

Great book! Really clear and concise directions. Jumps right into the drawing and doesn’t overwhelm with reasons and technique so kids can easily follow and learn along!
