Cute and to the point. Don’t know if it will help really draw things in 6 steps but it’s a great way to practice your skills, especially when you know you need to practice, but have no idea where to start that day. Doodles are a go to.

This was clear and just the right amount of options and steps. I was pleasantly surprised to not just animals but an architecture section etc. 

Fun, accesible for a lot of levels, and still encourages creativity even though you’re following along. Really enjoyed this. 

Thanks to publishers and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book provides a fun and easy way to begin drawing in a cartoon style. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The book also included creative prompts that will help inspire an artist's imagination.  The complexity of the drawings increases in a natural way, which helps utilize skills learned previously. While these instructions are more for beginner artists, I think it could be a great resource for artists who want to learn how to draw in a more whimsical style. I also think it would be a good resource for an art teacher, especially with children. Great!

Easy to follow six steps to draw objects in categories such as Animals, Birds, Fishes, Architecture, Transportation, Garden, Great Outdoors and People.
It is a fun book for beginners to draw.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is a great book to help get people started with drawing at any age. 
The step by step guides in almost 6 or less pictures are fantastic and super easy to follow! 
My favourite bit was the buildings and plants and trees! 
This book is sure to get people drawing away and overcoming obstacles in their drawings.

Love the author’s unique and simple aesthetic, A lot of helpful cute tips, tricks, and inspiration with step by step instructions for cartoon/children’s books drawings. Would recommend this to any parent or anyone who works with kids who wants to learn the basics!

This is a really fun and creative book which offers lots of ideas and inspiration for drawing, doodling and creating! I would highly recommend it!

Really cute step-by-step tutorials for drawing animals and other little doodle-y subjects. Very much in the vein of Ed Emberley, this book can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. I had a blast drawing some of the adorable animals (my favorite was the goose).

Learn to Draw Almost Anything in & Easy Steps provides just that - easy to follow steps. It is skewed for the youngest of artists and while easy to follow, it lacks the visual punch needed to sustain attention. It is very simplistic and basic so maybe at home art teachers may find it inspirational, but I don't see it getting much use after the initial flip through.

This is a great fun book for anyone, especially those who say they can't draw.  It is extremely satisfying when you can produce something that looks just like the picture.  It is perfect for children just gaining confidence in drawing and learning to experiment.  The projects are cartoon like and a bit of fun.  It is great book for a rainy afternoon or when you are stuck indoors looking for something to do with the kids..  Instructions are very easy to follow and there are is a good variety of different subjects to try.

Instant gratification for those who insist they do not know how to draw and then find that - with the help of this book - they actually can!

The style is cartoon (not realistic) and suitable for absolute beginners (even adults who say they can't draw to save their life)  and children. The step-by-step makes  it easy to follow. Even the very young can achieve something.

Draw cute animals, birds, fish, architecture, transportation, garden, great outdoors, and people.

Thank you Netgalley and The Quarto Group- Race Point Publishing for this ARC. This is my honest review.

The drawings in this book are great and the steps to draw them make it seem easy! There are so many things to draw and they are good for all children or anyone who wants to draw. I think it is great!

I received this e-book ARC of Learn to Draw (Almost) Anything in 6 Easy Steps by Rich Davis through Net Galley from the Quarto Group in exchange for a truthful review.
This gem of a guided drawing book sets out to show beginning artists, young and old, how to draw a collection of 100 items (animals, architecture, flowers, people and more) in a simple, cartoon style. And in only 6 easy steps!
The drawings are really cute! And the idea of 6-step Notre Dame and White House drawings made me laugh, bu they turned out pretty good!
There are some additional challenges which require 12 steps and those which combine and extend the individual guided lessons.

I like books like this that make art fun and approachable where no matter how bad you are at it you feel you could give it a go. There are great exercises here to draw lots of cute, simple things, and to start seeing things as shapes in order to create other drawings yourself. Although it seems simple, this ability to see your subject in shapes is actually a very important principle of art that allows you to create create paintings. A lovely book that will help people gain confidence with their creativity. 

I received a free digital copy via NetGalley, but the opinions expressed are my own.

This book is a good starting point for the elementary age artists. Each cartoonish drawing is completed with 6 quick steps, by turning simple shapes into different objects and figures.  I enjoyed that is wasn't just the basic " draw a cat, now draw a person." but had fun quirky characters to draw like woman with cake, a gardener, a forest, etc.  I also loved the simple details that help with perspective as in the layering in the mountain drawing.

Thanks to Netgalley and Publisher for the Advanced Reader Copy.

I’m not sure what age range this book is aimed at (maybe a great book for adults to use alongside their children, etc), but I’ve certainly had a lot of fun with it. The book covers a wide range of topics including animals, people, transport; the pictures are in a cartoon style, so not for everyone. The steps are easy to follow (‘six easy steps’) and I was pretty proud of my attempts.

When life for the entire universe and planet turns on its end and like everyone else you "have nothing to do" while your place of work is closed and you are in #COVID19 #socialisolation,  superspeed readers like me can read 250+ pages/hour, so yes, I have read the book … and many more today. (I have played a zillion games of scrabble, done a zillion crosswords and I AM BORED!!!)

I requested and received a temporary digital Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley, the publisher and the author in exchange for an honest review.  

From the publisher, as I do not repeat the contents or story of books in reviews, I let them do it as they do it better than I do 😸.

A fun drawing adventure for anyone interested in learning how to draw, doodle, and cartoon, Learn to Draw (Almost) Anything in 6 Easy Steps is ideal for boosting confidence in beginners.

A cute little art book that is a welcome addition in this time of social isolation and major boredom.Great instructions, great product ideas and drawing costs next to nothing ... and a great way to get the kids (and their parents and grandparents off their screens!! 

As always, I try to find a reason to not rate with stars as I love emojis (outside of their incessant use by "🙏-ed Social Influencer Millennials/#BachelorNation survivors/Tik-Tok and YouTube  Millionaires/etc. " on Instagram and Twitter... Get a real job, people!) so let's give it 🎨🎨🎨🎨

I enjoyed playing around with some drawings taught in thaught in this book.  Suitable for a beginner. The kids also loved it.  Would have like to have this in a format other than Adobe digital editions.  Thanks for the entertainment.

Learn to Draw (Almost) Anything in 6 Easy Steps is a cute drawing book. A fun way for a child to learn to draw some simple items. Thanks to #Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read it. I've already used it to teach a child how to draw some flowers to make a card.

This book is fun, no doubt. The closest I've come to drawing is a single drawing class through the local art center, and trying to convince myself to doodle more (it's healthy!). The first gave me an appreciation for how much concentration and abstraction really goes into simple drawing, and this book is perfect to bolster the second!

The book passes through different groups of subjects (people, animals, etc), but really that's very arbitrary. I mean, if you are drawing a cartoon cow that just isn't fundamentally much different than drawing a cartoon armchair... but it had to be organized in some way and this totally makes sense.

The style isn't my absolute favorite comic style, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that this book shows (teaches?) you how to look at things abstractly, simplify, break them down to the edges and lines you see, and just GO. Perhaps most importantly for me, it reminds me that YOU CAN ERASE a line: if you draw a circle as the body of the cow and then need a head, well, dangit, put the head there and ERASE the part of the circle for the body that's in the way. Don't know why that struck me as something I needed stressed, but that's what I took away. :)

The book is great for kids because it is whimsical, and also for adults wanting to speed through to feel like they accomplished something today while they were corona-quarantined. Both will like it.
