How to Draw: Easy Step-by-Step Drawings! (Dover How to Draw)

Simple book for grand daughter she loves to draw, color, paint, anything artsy. At 3yo she sit down and drew a bird correctly, I knew she took after her ole granny then. :)

This book excels has a way to show children ( even adults) that drawing is not hard. It demonstrates by breaking down the necessary steps to draw; yet, you do not know how your child will respond unless you try. I ask do you see how they made the first drawing? What do you need to do to your drawing to make it look like the second picture? Many of us think drawing is a skill that you either have or you don’t. However, if you know artists, many have had someone that encouraged them to keep playing with shape, colors, shading, texture...all of this is learned! With this understanding, it is my opinion this is an excellent first drawing book for kids!If you as a parent nurture the lessons within this book, your child will start to see shapes everywhere and start to think on their own how to create their own pictures! Secondly, be available to help and answer questions! This can be a very exciting discovery for a child!!! My little one could not believe she did it!I highly recommend this book! I did add and make up more simple things for my child to practice before moving on to the more advanced drawings. I do not consider myself an artist, but we are talking basics here. It is easy to build on what the book teaches! I applaud this author for helping me to see I can help my child learn this gift.. 5 ⭐️

Great for kids ages 4-7.

I really enjoyed using this book, "How to Draw" by Barbara Soloff Levy, to learn some very basic drawing techniques! I have actually drawn a few things that were very recognizable! A first for me! And you will too! There were a few times when I was working on "A to B", "B to C", when I suddenly felt like the author was up on "E to F" with no idea how to get there! But it didn't happen often and I always figured a way! The great thing about using a book you can just keep going back until you are satisfied, the bummer about using a book, there's no one handy to ask all the hundreds of questions you will have have as you move forward. I have purchased a couple other beginner books by different authors to try out, I'll try to do some comparisons between them. After the first few pages I started practicing in a small sketching pad. I have 6 grand babies who may want to try these out as they get older! This way everyone will have their own notepad to get started. I would suggest this book for anyone who thinks they can't draw, it will prove you wrong! I've discovered anyone can draw you just may need some help getting started!

Nice book

This book simplifies drawing animals by reducing them to simple shapes. Then combines them to get the actual animal.

Book arrived on time however was torn at the bottom corner along with a few pages! So sad

My grandson loves this book, I bought it for him because he is always trying to draw different things and this is an awesome book. I should have bought myself one, I can't draw much of anything, the book makes it so easy.
