This book is a great start to teach young artists-- 1 grader and higher-- to draw people. It teaches kids to sketch, i.e. draw lightly first. The step-by-step instruction is very clear.Not only is it a great book for introducing drawing of knights and castles, the author apparent is also fluent in the vocabulary of this yester-year theme. My first grader and I get to know the names of different weapons, name of different parts of the castles and the names of "things" people wear. A double treat!
We've checked out a lot of drawing books and the main problem I've found is that they are not detailed enough. For example, a certain animal drawing book(which I can't remember the name of right now) had a pretty picture of a horse, drawn in just three steps! Yep, three. From a few ovals and circles, to ovals, circles and lines for the legs to a fully fleshed out horse with streaming mane and muscled haunches, ridiculous, right?This book is fabulous. There are step-by-step illustrations and they are easy to follow and reproduce (my five year old loves this book). The other books by this author are great too and we found almost all of them at the Library, but we liked them so much that I bought a few for birthdays and christmas.The drawing is a little bit harder than some of the Ed Emberly drawing books, but if your child is willing to concentrate and spend a few hours on artwork, then this is the book for you.
I bought this book for my daughter who is 4. This book is great but would recommend for a 7 or 8 year old instead. For younger kids I would recommend the I Can Draw series.
We were hoping to get a few dragon animations to draw but were very disappointed. It really only has 1 of every type of medieval persona - one queen, one king, one knight etc. And they aren't very interesting. Compared to the other 1-2-3 draw books I feel this is the weakest.
The publisher sent me a copy of this book-well, for my Grandson to enjoy. I received a PDF copy for reading on a Kindle/tablet/computer etc. I read on a Kindle Fire HDX and this book displays really well on there. My Grandson has just turned five, so, he's just under the recommended ages for this book-yet he loved it! It certainly cheered a poorly little boy up as he was feeling a bit sorry for himself with a cold and cough. At first we just read it like a book-there were plenty of pictures that were of interest and some beautifully coloured. He enjoyed seeing the basic shapes at the beginning of the book eg triangle, oval etc-he enjoyed naming these shapes etc. When it came to the drawings: this book shows you how to draw some lovely pictures of a Knight in armour, a Princess, a Knight on a Horse, a Dragon, some castles, a Swan etc. All the steps of creating these objects are clearly set down and the pictures are created very simply from just these basic shapes-eg. the picture of the swan is just two ovals and a couple of lines, fill in for the eye and a triangle for the beak. This looks and sounds so simple-almost too simple-yet it results in an attractive image. Not just for kids I think: I am dreadful at drawing-I can't seem to 'see' how an object should go down on paper-with this system, even I can draw these things for the first time. My Grandson liked just looking through the book as well as trying to draw-then he was soon having fun seeing Nanna and Grandad reproducing the Swan illustration and trying himself too. 64 enchanting pages.
This book makes it easy to draw excellent cartoon dragons. Though distinctly cartoonish, they are 'realistic' enough to be adapted for more serious looks.One of the best things about this book is the clear instructions. What you are doing, as well as why you are doing it, is explained. The pictures are simple and not overly complicated.I would definitely recommend this book both for children and adults who want an introduction to drawing dragons (and castles and knights).
Drawing instructions appropriate for 7 year olds. But there are too few drawings in the book. Expected more for the money.
My 7 yr old grandson really enjoys this book. The illustrations are thoughtfully drawn for easy replication by a beginning artist. His drawings are successful and this book is a real favorite.
