I really loved this drawing book! The steps, descriptions and photos were just great! Also, so many different things that you can draw too which is just awesome! The only thing is that the title says, "Easy Drawing," so you would think this would be for absolute beginners... No, this book is actually more meant for medium/advanced drawers. Overall recommend tho!

**Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for sending me this for my honest review.

Easy Drawing is the perfect book for someone already familiar with basic drawing techniques like shadowing and coloring. It may not be the best choice for a complete beginner as the quick escalation of skills might be intimidating.

However, Easy Drawing is the perfect book for someone like me who has some experience. It reminded me of my high school art classes. I was able to refresh my skills in an easy and time-efficient way. There are many different examples of objects, animals, landscapes, portraits, etc. shown with clear step-by-step instructions. Each step also includes a colorful illustration. 4 stars!

Thanks to Walter Foster Publishing and NetGalley for a digital review copy of the book.

I thought that this would be something that a beginner could jump into and be able to draw from and that is really not the case. The artist takes the examples from basic to very advanced in 6 steps which is not enough in between for me to be able to follow. I would for sure market this book as something for more advanced artists.

This is a very handy guide for those us who are seeking a bit of help and guidance with drawing.

I love art but sadly I am not a gifted at any kinds of drawing so this guide immediately attracted my attention.

I would say this book would best suit beginners and has a handy introduction to the basics including materials then leads onto tutorials of how to draw a variety of subjects.

The guides were easy to follow as were the accompanying instructions.

There are sections on flowers, everyday objects, landscapes, people and animals.

It was a pleasure to sit with the guide open and attempt to sketch along.

Many thanks to the publisher for providing me with a digital ARC through Netgalley to provide an honest review.

Easy Drawing starts with a few lessons on drawing, such as using shapes to create objects and colour theory well explained so that beginners in the arts can easily pick up and understand the techniques displayed. Then, it compiles a series of step-by-step guides on drawing different subjects.

As a beginner myself, I tried a few of the guides and ended up with a drawing that is much better than I would have done if I'd tried to draw the object without these explanations, so I believe it is a useful tool. The selection of subjects is limited in this book, but it gives you the understanding needed to then move onto other drawings.

Thank you NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group and Walter Foster Publishing for this ARC.

I was really struck by the line drawings on the cover and thought that this book would provide such an easy and accessible way to jump into it. Many of the book's pictures though guide you through creating full color drawings and so it wasn't quite what I envisioned, but I did love that it provided a great variety of subjects to draw with lots of great info on shading, the tools to use, etc.

This is a nice drawing book for beginners and intermediate artists. I’m not sure it’s necessarily easy but there are detailed instructions on how to draw 25 objects like a lemon, bicycle, building and pair of scissors. The shading information is particularly useful and will help you have very realistic drawings if you take the time to follow along.

I am not very artistically inclined when it comes to drawing, however Easy Drawing but Chelsea Ward had me dangerously thinking I was an artist! This book has delightful how-tos and something for absolutely everyone!

Not the easiest (as promised) but a lot of fun, a good place to start learning how the basics and mechanics of drawing work.

This is a very useful and well written instruction manual for how to draw. Aimed at beginners it even outlines choices of tools (pens, pencils, paints) and there are some items that have tutorials for colored in or painted drawings and not just sketches. Not overwhelming in depth, I found this easy to follow along and learned a lot about drawing.

This is a pretty good little drawing guide book.
I really liked how it walked you through the steps of shading and colouring rather than just teaching you how to do the outline and then saying “now shade! boom! perfect!” I also really enjoyed the color swatches at the bottom of each drawing.
A lot of these illustrations definitely require some previous illustration skills to match the level of detail in the book, so I’d recommend this for people of intermediate art skill who’s looking to practice their skills even more.

I'm not sure I would describe this book as easy, but if you do have drawing talent it's a nice learning tool.
The breakdowns of each drawing are clear and rather straight forward.

Those who want to give drawing a try and who don’t know if they have the talent should very much enjoy this book. Learn to draw everything from a tomato to a sunflower to a tea cup or a coffee pot. Move on to the landscapes and architecture, people and animals that are found in these pages.

Note that there is a helpful introduction. It gives information on tools, techniques and more.

This book has clear directions and steps to follow. I don’t think that it is completely easy but art takes practice. This book is worth a look for those who are hoping to become a budding artist.
