I am a self taught beginning artist and I cannot believe how much better I have gotten by spending time practicing and using how to draw books。 This book was disappointing because it gave a TON of examples but not step but step。 It shows a completed colored drawing of a fish 🐠， then says draw it。 But it does not go over the steps on how to draw it。 I've enjoyed books like， 'How to draw cool stuff'， by Catherine V。 Holmes， and 'How to draw cool stuff: a drawing guide for teachers and students， an I am a self taught beginning artist and I cannot believe how much better I have gotten by spending time practicing and using how to draw books。 This book was disappointing because it gave a TON of examples but not step but step。 It shows a completed colored drawing of a fish 🐠， then says draw it。 But it does not go over the steps on how to draw it。 I've enjoyed books like， 'How to draw cool stuff'， by Catherine V。 Holmes， and 'How to draw cool stuff: a drawing guide for teachers and students， and 'How to draw flowers'， by Blonde。 These books were far more helpful for a beginner like me。 。。。more

This book is fantastic。 I "forgot" how to draw when I went to college and took a drawing class。 I remember very vividly how the professor was so critical without giving any real guidance or suggestions。 It really crushed my spirit。 （And it wasn't even art school！）Fast forward to years later -- I am a mixed media artist。 I still have a block about drawing， so I thought this book would help。 I've been drawing 1 little thing a day for #The100DayProject and it's been liberating。 It doesn't need to b This book is fantastic。 I "forgot" how to draw when I went to college and took a drawing class。 I remember very vividly how the professor was so critical without giving any real guidance or suggestions。 It really crushed my spirit。 （And it wasn't even art school！）Fast forward to years later -- I am a mixed media artist。 I still have a block about drawing， so I thought this book would help。 I've been drawing 1 little thing a day for #The100DayProject and it's been liberating。 It doesn't need to be perfect， but damn， that actually DOES look like a jaguar！But here's the best part: I have an almost-6-year-old daughter。 Her homework every week is to write 5 words beginning with whatever letter is assigned that week and to draw a picture for each。 My daughter either phones it in or freaks out because she "can't draw it！" Doing homework is a nightmare and it was worrying me because I don't want her to start out her school career hating homework。I brought out the book from my stack and we started using that as a guide for her。 She loves it。 It is so helpful that I think I'm going to get her （us） the "for kids" versions， too。Great book。 So glad I followed my impulse when I saw this title！ 。。。more

One of the best， simple drawing books。 I tested many of the drawings and always found success。 This book is perfect for an art classroom as it provides excellent visuals and small steps。 I know this will be a favorite in my classroom。

About illustration rather than realistic（？） drawings。 Would be very tedious and repetitive something that would make you a better artist if you actually draw everything which I did not。 If you've had other art instruction or if you actually work through the whole book it hammers through the concept that you can create a faithful rendition of anything by interpreting / copying its lines， shapes and / or colors。 Copying the step by step examples of complicated subjects such as the famous sites in About illustration rather than realistic（？） drawings。 Would be very tedious and repetitive something that would make you a better artist if you actually draw everything which I did not。 If you've had other art instruction or if you actually work through the whole book it hammers through the concept that you can create a faithful rendition of anything by interpreting / copying its lines， shapes and / or colors。 Copying the step by step examples of complicated subjects such as the famous sites in Japan was quite satisfying。 。。。more

It's a cute book and meets what it promises。 You will learn how to draw a bunch of things in a japanese-style， from a simple strawberry to the loch Ness monster。 Don't let grumpy adults that see a hat instead of the boa constrictor eating an elephant discourage you。 Lovely book。 It's a cute book and meets what it promises。 You will learn how to draw a bunch of things in a japanese-style， from a simple strawberry to the loch Ness monster。 Don't let grumpy adults that see a hat instead of the boa constrictor eating an elephant discourage you。 Lovely book。 。。。more

Este libro te da lo que promete su título: "Como dibujar casi cualquier cosa"， te enseña paso a paso cómo dibujar animales， plantas y flores， alimentos， personas， prendas de ropa。。。 Pensaréis que si te enseña a dibujar todo eso， donde está el problema。 Pues sencillamente en que te enseña a dibujar todo eso ¡como si tuvieras 5 años！ En fin， que no me ha servido， ni me ha aportado nada aprovechable， dinero tirado a la papelera y un libro inútil más ocupando espacio en las estanterías。 😒 Este libro te da lo que promete su título: "Como dibujar casi cualquier cosa"， te enseña paso a paso cómo dibujar animales， plantas y flores， alimentos， personas， prendas de ropa。。。 Pensaréis que si te enseña a dibujar todo eso， donde está el problema。 Pues sencillamente en que te enseña a dibujar todo eso ¡como si tuvieras 5 años！ En fin， que no me ha servido， ni me ha aportado nada aprovechable， dinero tirado a la papelera y un libro inútil más ocupando espacio en las estanterías。 😒 。。。more

Love， love， love this book！ It has everything I need for some mindless doodling。 Plus， the drawings are cute， colourful and very japanese-style。 There are sections dividing the book into different categories - i。e。 food， landmarks， animals etc。 Pick one up， you won't regret it。 Love， love， love this book！ It has everything I need for some mindless doodling。 Plus， the drawings are cute， colourful and very japanese-style。 There are sections dividing the book into different categories - i。e。 food， landmarks， animals etc。 Pick one up， you won't regret it。 。。。more
