I've always thought I was an art-less disaster. Even as a child, my drawings were always the worst in kindergarten, so I've avoided drawings my entire life. I was honestly okay with it, but when I saw this book, I thought - why not give it a try?

...And now I can't get over the fact that I can actually draw stuff like hippos in sweatshirts and simple humans. Even a human falling down or walking! Who am I?

My opinion: this book was certainly meant for people who can't draw very well, just like me. I'm saying that because the instructions don't have any kind of complicated detail or techniques. While this is the very charm of this book and exactly what drew me to it (pun intended!), the simplicity probably won't satisfy people who are already artsy. But... if you are a total beginner to the world of drawing, I highly recommend it.

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for an ARC. All opinions are my own.

This is an incredibly simple and effective guide to drawing. I love the suggestions of pen uses. It is important for readers to know what recommended pens are needed to achieve maximum results. I really like the idea of sharing how slight variations can have an impact on drawing. The use of shapes to build animals and people is very helpful.

I teach art to my third grade students and find that this would be incredibly helpful and build on students skills.
