Over the last few years I've purchased several of the How To Draw books by Barbara Soloff Levy for my(now 11 year old)daughter and her friends. We keep the books stacked together with sets of pencils and markers and a stack of plain paper. In between active play the kids like to sit down with the book of their choice and do drawings. Sometimes they start drawing and don't stop for an hour. The books are well illustrated and the kid's remember the techniques they learn from them. Sometimes we put a few into a tote bag and take them along to a restaurant. They keep the kids busy drawing while adults are free to have some conversation. The books are fun and I would recommend them all for ages 6 to 100.
I bought this as a present for my six year old. She loves to draw and has a passion for art. I feared the book might be too advanced for her skills however I was wrong. The book was a hit! In fact the whole family is having fun drawing pictures!
Very pleased with this book out of all of the others I considered. Thanks for the great reviews! This book has a simple 2-pages w/ plenty of blank doodling space and instructions for 29 different animals. It even colors the "draw this during this step" differently so you know what you're adding. Purchased as a gift for a 5-yr old, but I would venture to say it's best for 6+yr olds, depending on skill and dedication.Includes: Rabbit, lamb, cow, fox, lion, giraffe, hippopotamus, llama, pig, dog, bear, alligator, deer, elephant, cat, zebra, racoon, goat, mouse, tiger, horse, camel, squirrel, beaver, aardvark, gorilla, walrus, porcupine, skunk, and monkey!
No, I am not trying to sell you an insurance. But this book can be the beginning of a great relationship between you child and his pencil doodles. Don't miss this opportunity to buy other books from this author. Also, you can get the ART FOR KIDS: CARTOONING by Art Roche. If you think your child could someday replace Charles M. Schulz or Stan Lee this is the book to get. I did. You can even have some fun trying to draw and making up stories. Well, I hope you or your child gets famous. Good Luck.
This is a wonderful, easy to follow book for young artists. Perfect for my 5 year old. There are several pictures to choose from with a practice page right next to it. This is great for traveling because you do not need to bring extra paper! Plus the drawings are simple line drawings that she can color as well. I ordered 4 of these "how to draw" books from Barabra Soloff Levy and I am very happy with all of them. I have ordered others that were too difficult, or just not useful but these books were exactly what I wanted!
I bought this book for my four year old who is always asking me to show her how to draw things. It has a decent variety of simple things to draw using a step by step method. (different animals, bicycles, etc.) She needed a little verbal guidance at first, but can now pretty much follow the instructions herself. Overall, a good purchase for kids, or adults, who want to draw simple cartoon animals and objects.
I had this delivered to my five-year-old niece the day after she broke her arm (on the playground on the first week of kindergarten). Fortunately, it was the non-dominant arm, and she was able to use her other arm to put this to use. A year ago, she told me sadly that she wasn't good at art, and this book and others have helped her to see that drawing, like everything else, is a matter of practice. We've spent many hours at the table, drawing from this book, and she loves to open it up, decide on an animal and create her own. Highly recommend this.
I ordered this book so that I could add designs to craft projects. Since I'm not an artist, this book is excellent - everything is broken down step by step. Thanks to this book, I feel like I have a little bit of talent!
