This cute little book has nice and easy instructions on how to draw many different objects. It utilises various basic shapes in order to base the final product off. It has a range of chapters ranging from house hold items to sporting objects. I was unable to view all the pages in this book, unsure if this was intentional. Overall nice simplistic instructions for a beginner artist. Each page also has a little colour scheme on how to colour each object which I thought was a nice touch. Beautifully presented illustrations through this book. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

There are such fun things to draw in this book. The instructions are all visual and easy to follow. It would be a good book for someone who wants to add details to their calendar or journal. I feel like some basic line skills are needed but with practice this book would be so fun to have!

I would like to thank netgalley for the Arc.
This book was short. I love doodling and started looking at all the images and the ook ended.
The pictures I saw were lovely BUT I cidnt figure how I was supposed to paint. Some instructions would have helped. Personally, I would have preferred plants to household items to doodle.

This book was not complete. The pictures are nice, but the instructions where not given to reviewers. I'm not sure how I am meant to review half a book. I guess with a half arsed review like this is.

5 stars, Easy and fun

TEN-STEP DRAWING: EVERYDAY THINGS

Though I was disappointed, that the review copy I was provided by #netgalley was only a partial excerpt, the book did have several everyday things that I liked, and was able to make my first attempts at drawing. My most favorite thing was a key with a house fob key chain. Who knew that a key would be so easy to draw? Very doable for this doodler.

Highly recommend it as a gift for children or adults.

I was thoughtfully provided a complimentary copy of #TenStepDrawingEverydayThings from #WalterFosterPublishing I was under no obligation to post a review.

In Ten-Step Drawing: Everyday Things, Justine Lecouffe walks readers through a step by step process of drawing 60 ordinary items found in many households. The process she uses is very good, breaking items up into shapes and then building from there. As such, this is a great book for beginning artists to see the process. However, the book would have better suited readers had she also explained this process to readers so that those who are not as intuitive would be better suited to applying the techniques to other items.

Disclaimer: An advance copy was provided by the publisher.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a cute book! But it definitely feels like it's for people with some drawing experience.

While some of the drawings are simple, others have a lot of detail that can be difficult to fill in. There's step-by-step instructions that show how things come together. There's also a color pallet included in each drawing which is nice.

There's a variety of things to draw included in this book from food to things and plants. It's helpful for drawing these specific things, but there's not a theme or anything to follow in this book.

Overall an interesting find!

Now that we’re all mostly staying at home, this book is very timely for anyone who wants to start drawing. What better to put on our sketchbooks or journals than the things right before our eyes in our abode.

I’m really liking this series as there are 10 steps given for each object, so pretty detailed with nothing skipped or rushed through. The drawings are nice too. Useful too are the colour suggestions with the completed sketch.

Great for a beginner or intermediate artist.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed using this book to learn how to draw simple everyday items. I've drawn several, my favorite being the alarm clock.

I don't know if this is how the publisher intended it, but many of the tutorials were missing, and so I was saddened that I couldn't draw the moped.

This is a lovely book! If you’ve always thought you can’t draw but like to doodle shapes while you’re on the phone or thoughtful, this book would help you progress to drawing actual objects. It’s helpful because it helps you identify shapes in everyday objects, like circles and rectangles, and build them up into drawings of objects. Nicely presented. My thanks to NetGalley and publisher for a digital copy in exchange for my review. I’m off to draw some pajamas :)

Ten-Step Drawing: Everyday Things is a tutorial and instruction book to drawing people in a variety of poses by Justine Lecouffe. Due out 7th Sept 2021 from Quarto on their Walter Foster imprint, it's 128 pages and will be available in paperback format. The eARC I received for review included excerpts from the finished book and encompassed roughly half the content.

The titles in this series are all formatted in a similar manner and this one is no exception. The book includes 60 tutorials for household and everyday objects, arranged thematically: things in my bag (wallet, phone, key & fob, etc), in my room, in my kitchen, bathroom, desk, closet, out and about. As shown on the cover, each tutorial includes 10 steps with each refinement numbered sequentially and shown from start to finish. I liked that this guide shows several different styles and includes lots of items which could be used on journals, menus, placecards, crafting, papercrafts, stickers, etc. This is mostly aimed at beginning to early-intermediate artists and will provide a lot of good practice sessions.

This would make a good choice for public or school library acquisition, home use, or gift giving (perhaps bundled with some basic drawing supplies). I would also recommend this book to babysitters, grandparents, parents, and basically anyone who spends a fair bit of time with small kids in order to up their 'draw with me' game.

Four stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

As an adult with little to no drawing experience, I was immediately drawn to this book. (no pun intended)

The tutorials are organized into seven sections: In my Bag, In my Room, In my Kitchen, In my Bathroom, On my Deck, In my Closet, Out & About.

Each object includes a 10-step illustrated guide, written instructions for each step, a color key, and a colored example of the final step of the drawing.

As a beginner, I found this guide did an excellent job outlining every step with clear illustrations and easy-to-follow text. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of objects included; this made the book fun to flip through!

I would recommend this book to beginning artists or anyone interested in improving their art. It’s perfect for both older kids and adults.

Review to be posted on Goodreads, BN, and Amazon on Sept 8 with sample drawings. Thank you, Walter Foster, for my review copy.

A new school semester has started. I am one of those people who is always doodling in the margins of my notebooks. So, this book was created for those, who like me, enjoy drawing and need a bit of guidance.

This book offers a useful tutorial. It is divided into sections with topics based on locations including my bag, my room, my kitchen, my bathroom and more. There is then an additional section entitled Out and About. Within each of these sections are many things to draw. For each, the item to be drawn is created with ten steps.

For example, in my kitchen offers teapots and cups, while on m desk includes scissors and art supplies. Search for favorites or just dip into this title and start wherever you land.

So, get out your pencils and have some fun!
