If you loved the movie, or if you have yet to discover it, Learn to Draw Disney/Pixar Onward is a great book that will help you and those you love (or haven't yet really bonded with a la in the movie) draw characters from the movie.
Grab the book, a pencil and a piece of paper and follow the Walter Foster Jr creative team to make these drawings pop. They were a lot of fun! We especially enjoyed creating the art and then coloring them in and using those drawings to decorate letters, too! You can now have Ian help you on your quest to art awesomeness!

This book makes it easy for even beginner artists to learn to draw their favourite Onward characters. Breaking down each character into steps and shapes makes it easy to learn, and before you know it, you are drawing characters that are more complicated than you ever believed possible. Perfect for kids and adults alike!

The Disney Learn to Draw books are a fantastic resource for anyone who loves Disney art, and are highly recommended.

'Learn to Draw Disney/Pixar Onward: Featuring all of your favorite characters, including Ian, Barley, Blazey, and more!' by the Walter Foster Jr. Creative Team is an art book to teach readers how draw characters from the famouse Pixar movie.

Starting with an overview of the plot, the book then talks about materials needed for drawing. That is followed by 12 projects featuring the creatures and characters in Onward. The instructions start with a very basic line and build on that, using heavier lines for each new step. There are helpful hints for finishing touches.

This is a fun approach to art for younger readers. I imagine if they are able to be patient and follow the instructions that some decent results could be produced.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Walter Foster, Jr., and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

This book is good for children with slightly more advanced drawing skills, as each step in the step-by-steps actually includes several mini-steps. However, it's also a good book for more novice children to do some tracing for muscle memory if desired.

Cute book, thanks for letting me have an e copy and be able to review it. Learned a lot about the characters.

A creative guide to learn drawings of characters of movie onwards.
It starts with simple lines and circles and then completes wonderful illustrations.
Method described is very simple.
Alongside character is described as role played by character in the movie.
All main characters are drawn.
And also the truck of two boys.
A lovely art book that teaches in a easily followable pattern.

This is a fun way to learn to draw Disney characters. This is a great 64-page book showing how to draw characters from the movie. The steps are easy to follow. Readers/artists also learn about the characters from the movie so whether you have seen the movie or not it is a great book. The format is wonderful. This book also provides information on the tools you need as well as the supplies. Everything and all the steps you need are available.

Even without training, the reader can draw cute animated characters!

This is my third “Learn to Draw” book. All of them come with step-by-step instructions to draw the characters. By following each picture as the drawing progresses, it is fun and easy to make popular, recognizable figures.

I love these books!


I received an ARC from Quarto Publishing through NetGalley. This in no way affects my opinion or rating of this book. I am voluntarily submitting this review and am under no obligation to do so.

I recieved a copy of this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Easy to understand. Perfect for beginners and pros. Truth be told I'm a horrible artist, but this book has allowed me to decorate everything we own with Onward goodness!

The coronavirus may have relegated Disney-Pixar's latest to streaming services over a theatrical release, but the Walter Foster Jr. Creative Team has scored another winner for fans of Pixar's newest animated classic with this full-color, fully-illustrated and thoroughly fleshed-out, step-by-step guidebook for creative kids. Even the youngest artists, here, should be able to flesh out a reasonable likeness of Ian, Barley, Blazy, the Manticore - all their favorite characters from New Mushroomtown featured in their favorite new movie, Onward. Starting with a list of easy-to-get tools and art supplies the kids can put together with a grown-up, each child can then easily flip to their favorite and, starting with a few simple lines, bring that character to life on paper. Walter Foster how-to arts and craft books have been around a lot of years; it's nice to see, once again, that the "junior team's" current crop of books for young artists are just as inspiring and creative as the classics; this one should keep its readers busy, and creative, for hours. 4.5/5 stars

NOTE: I received a free ARC of this title from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.

We just watched Onward recently and once I saw this book I thought why not? It gave my son easy steps to be able to draw the characters. He was the best one to be able to 'review' this book. He said it was cool and we look froward to buying it to enjoy more fun family drawing time.

This book is so cute!
I am working my way through all the drawings but some are not as easy as I would like!
Although there are step-by-step diagrams to follow there aren't words to help you out so this book should definitely be aimed at older kids who don't need any help with their drawings.
My main struggle was the size of each element!
All in all a nice enough book and great for those who want to learn to draw their favourite Disney characters but could be improved with a little more details - such as tips written out next to the diagrams.

4 stars
My son loved it. It was fun and a great way to learn to draw! We love Disney and drawing, so it was the perfect fit!

Superb for the fans of new Disney film and was great fun to follow the simple step by step. Both my daughter and I enjoyed this and it quite easy to follow, clearly from our pictures we are no masters but the end result is far better than us just trying to copy an image freehand

Awesome book! It allows the reader to go from a simple drawing of lines and circles to a complicated drawing. I like how colorful it is and the little descriptions are cute and they give enough for me to identify with the characters. I will recommend this to my kids in class and my family and friends.

Thanks NetGalley!

My daughter just watched Onward when it released to Disney+, so imagine how excited she was to look at this book! It helped her draw some of the most popular characters. Especially now staying at home, this is keeping her busy!

This is the perfect book to fill your newly found free time. You can learn how to draw some of your favourite characters from Disney's latest hit Onward. The steps are super easy to follow and the book is beautiful and colourful. Perfect relaxing antidote to the current climate.

Having only seen the trailer for the film the characters looked really designed and interesting I’m now attempting to give it a go my self and draw the characters from onward.

QUICK TAKE

Onward is the newest movie from Disney/Pixar, and it has been released early on digital video and Disney+ as a special gift during this time of self-isolation.

Walter Foster has released a plethora of Disney Learn to Draw books under their Walter Foster Jr. line, but I find that these books are excellent for all ages, especially Onward. The drawing exercises in this edition were particularly challenging, even with step by step instructions, and it helped me to expand my artistic skills. But this book is so much more than just drawing exercises – it provides the reader with additional insight into the characters and story of Onward to allow the reader to dive deeper into the making of this beautiful movie. The baseline techniques this book teaches the reader also allows for additional creativity as the reader can begin to draw their own characters utilizing their newly learned skills.
