Great resource on getting started drawing various kinds of figures。 Some are more cartoon-style， but are surprisingly simple。 Following this book is a nice gateway to creative thinking。Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review。

Earlier this year， Sophie reviewed a collection of eight how-to-draw books and found them to vary dramatically in quality。 More recently， she picked up How to Draw Almost Everything Volume 2: An Illustrated Sourcebook by Six Pommes （a pen name for the six contributing Japanese artists） to see how this one would compare。The “almost everything” part of the title was certainly apt。 The book contains hundreds if not thousands of drawing guides covering so many topics that Sophie could be here all da Earlier this year， Sophie reviewed a collection of eight how-to-draw books and found them to vary dramatically in quality。 More recently， she picked up How to Draw Almost Everything Volume 2: An Illustrated Sourcebook by Six Pommes （a pen name for the six contributing Japanese artists） to see how this one would compare。The “almost everything” part of the title was certainly apt。 The book contains hundreds if not thousands of drawing guides covering so many topics that Sophie could be here all day listing them。 There are the usual animals and people， these are broken up by type while the people section also covers things like facial expressions， movements， and actions。 From here， the book branches out to cover everyday objects （foods， furniture， cosmetics， buildings， and vehicles）， patterns and borders， seasonal items for all major holidays， alphabets， and even symbols like musical notes and horoscope characters。 Sophie’s digital review copy allowed her to easily search for keywords but， unfortunately， the book doesn’t appear to have been released digitally， which would have hugely improved its usability rather than having to flip through pages looking for things （there is no index）。While the book was indeed packed with drawings， Sophie did feel like they weren’t always great for following。 The majority are incredibly simplistic or take big jumps between steps—“draw a circle， now add two lines， voila！ Here’s an intricate snowglobe！” This was especially noticeable toward the end of the book when dozens of items were crammed on each page， compared to the beginning where fewer items were afforded more space and detailed stages。While How to Draw Almost Everything will be a useful reference book， Sophie feels it needs to be part of a larger collection and not a standalone drawing guide。 However， artistic kids will no doubt love to receive it and it will make a fantastic stocking-stuffer this holiday season。 。。。more

A great drawing book that will show you how to draw almost everything in simple easy steps。 The book is also broken down into sections that give easy to follow lessons with warm-ups and special lessons to extend the fun。 I purchased this book for my classroom to give students the extra boost they need sometimes。 The book is so fun that I am going to go and buy a new sketch book and work my way through the book。 Even adults can have drawing fun。

How to Draw Almost Everything V2 is simplistic， perhaps too simplistic。 It spends a great deal of time going over basic shapes before delving into slight deviations to depict various objects。 This process suggests that very young children are the book’s target audience。 However， the layout lacks dynamic visuals to capture and hold the reader。 The format is odd， as it opens with a special lesson， which is a brief overview of basic color schemes， but the information is less special and more generi How to Draw Almost Everything V2 is simplistic， perhaps too simplistic。 It spends a great deal of time going over basic shapes before delving into slight deviations to depict various objects。 This process suggests that very young children are the book’s target audience。 However， the layout lacks dynamic visuals to capture and hold the reader。 The format is odd， as it opens with a special lesson， which is a brief overview of basic color schemes， but the information is less special and more generic。 The additional lessons lack definitiveness。 The directions are more suggestive than step by step。 Of course， a more advanced reader can make the leap of what comes next， but it is hard to see that a very young reader would necessarily follow without help。 Disappointing。 。。。more

This a great way to elevate your doodling。 I love the neat Asian animation Style to the doodling。 This inspired med to get out my sketch book and give it a go。 This will help my work Notes look more professional。

I received this as an advanced reader copy from NetGalley and the publisher for my 7 year old who loves to draw。He went straight to the section about sea animals and happily copied the instructions to make some great drawings。It is a very clear and simple to use format and I recommend to anyone who wants to teach children （or adults！） how to draw almost everything ;）

I can now draw！This book will get even the most hopeless artist （me！） drawing within moments of opening it。 Upon receiving this book I jumped straight to the “How to Draw a Cat” page， and within moments had drawn a very acceptable cat simply by following the 3 stages pictures。 I then went back to the beginning and followed the warm up exercises， gaining in confidence in drawing curves， squiggles etc。 The book suggests ballpoint pens are used， and explains the differences between pens， but I just I can now draw！This book will get even the most hopeless artist （me！） drawing within moments of opening it。 Upon receiving this book I jumped straight to the “How to Draw a Cat” page， and within moments had drawn a very acceptable cat simply by following the 3 stages pictures。 I then went back to the beginning and followed the warm up exercises， gaining in confidence in drawing curves， squiggles etc。 The book suggests ballpoint pens are used， and explains the differences between pens， but I just use what coloured pencils I have to hand。 There are so many quick things to draw， animals， people， everyday stuff， decorative borders， celebrations etc， that there is really something here for everyone。 Many of the drawings have basic instructions， and more detailed ones。 Very little text， its all about following the drawing stages that are shown。 The drawings are quick and ideal for getting an idea across， or using as basic illustrations， or brightening up a card， letter， invitation etc。 This book is not about how to produce fine artwork with perspectives etc， but everyone would be able to recognise my drawing as a cat （which in itself is astounding！）。5*s from me， as this book is fun， easy to follow and produces quick results using whatever pens and pencils you have to hand。 I have been picking it up to relax for 5 minutes and learn to draw an animal or bird， and also used it for an afternoon of fun， learning to draw people doing all sort of actions。 It is great for switching off from everything going on and concentrating the mind。 Absolutely love it！ 。。。more

I like to bullet journal and I am terrible at drawing。 This book will definitely enable me to draw better illustrations in my planner。 It is full of cute ideas in a step-by-step approach。 I like the way that it is presented and even for someone hopeless like me， it helped。

So there are a lot of cute doodles in this book。 That is the good。 The bad is I am not sure that I could see myself buying it。 There is simply not enough here to make it worth my while。 I feel like I am a permanent newbie artist and it was too simple for me even。 Things like to make a donut， you need two circles。 That said， if you wanted a book on doodling for itty bitty ones who have never doodled before？ It is probably great for that。 Otherwise it is good for inspiration。

This book was a good step by step drawing instruction。 Most of the drawing was too “cartoonish” for my taste。 However， I found the drawing good warm-up exercises。Everything is broken down into easy to follow steps。 I would recommend this drawing book to a beginner looking to improve their drawing skills。I received this galley from NetGalley。

I didn't fully expect that this would have literally almost everything。 A great resource book。 I think my favorite part is that they show how you start off with the same base shape but it becomes different 。 A great example of this is the swan/flamingo which begin with very similar heads and necks。 I didn't fully expect that this would have literally almost everything。 A great resource book。 I think my favorite part is that they show how you start off with the same base shape but it becomes different 。 A great example of this is the swan/flamingo which begin with very similar heads and necks。 。。。more

Don't judge this book by its cover， which seemed a little underwhelming and amateur looking to me。 Inside it's actually packed with a lot of really good， really basic instructions for drawing just about anything you can think of， from lip gloss to cartoon lemons to new baby announcements to tea pots （with a special emphasis on feminine， cutesy and childlike）。 These are all very simple drawings that really do show that absolutely anybody of any age can draw this stuff。 The illustrations are done Don't judge this book by its cover， which seemed a little underwhelming and amateur looking to me。 Inside it's actually packed with a lot of really good， really basic instructions for drawing just about anything you can think of， from lip gloss to cartoon lemons to new baby announcements to tea pots （with a special emphasis on feminine， cutesy and childlike）。 These are all very simple drawings that really do show that absolutely anybody of any age can draw this stuff。 The illustrations are done by a group of different illustrators。 I believe they're Japanese。 My one complaint for this book is the near total lack of diversity in the people。 Despite giving us a huge range of hairstyles， hats， crowns， clothes， etc。， they are all very stereotypical thin， young white （or Asian） people。 Hair comes in three colors and is straight out of a 1950's picture book （bangs， pigtails， braids， long hair on girls， short hair on boys。。。） with the exception of the directions on how to draw a girl with her hair in a scrunchie。 There are no wheelchairs， crutches， canes， glasses， freckles， afros， buzz cuts， fat folks， punk rockers， people of color， etc。 One set of pear-shaped grandparents reflects the only representation for differences in age and size。 The women tend to have long hair， small waists and round hips and to wear things like pencil skirts， which is an awesome aesthetic but should not be the only one we get these days。There are a ton of these books out right now and I always enjoy them。 Honestly， I have seen a few I liked better this year but this one gets points for being the most accessible in that you often get the feeling that you could do better than the drawings （and see how to）， which will give amateur artists a huge sense of direction and empowerment。 It's also nice that it goes into a lot of examples for ways to use your new talents at the end （announcements， travel mugs， etc。） and the vast range of objects depicted is really great。I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review。 。。。more
