My five year old son found this book at a friends house and had to have it! He waited by the door until delivered his prized package! The book takes you step by step in learning how to draw various action figures and gives wonderful art lessons at the same time. We have some real treasures hanging on our refrigerator from this book! I'm going to order one for each of my son's boy cousins for Christmas and a few spares for birthday presents!
When I started out with this book, I was a clumsy, struggling artist, who knew nothing of muscle layout, stick figures, how to draw hands: mostly nothing. I had been illustrating my comic books with simple cartoon figures for some years.After purchasing this book, in literally two weeks after I started reading, it my drawing skill increased three-fold! My simple cartoon characters found life in incredibly illustrated figures and costumes, bringing to life new characters in my excitement to draw new things.This book is not just another drawing book; in fact, I have never seen anything like it. It doesn't just teach you to draw in the Marvel style, it kick-starts your unique artstyle. So in just a couple years, one will have almost indefinitely recognized their own way of drawing detailed figures.Not just an average drawing book, this is a drawing book that shouldn't be passed up. This is the epitome of a wonderful drawing book for beginners. An enthusiastic 5/5!
It is a difficult thing to discover a book on drawing that will coddle the casual (or serious) student without rushing or confusing him with complicated theory or diagrams. I received this book as a gift and soon fell in love with it. It is an easy, step-by-step guide to drawing the human figure that puts emphasis on the two most important aspects of drawing: observation and practice. The diagrams are easy to discern and the text leaves nothing to chance. Though the early parts of the book state that it is meant to be drawn in, I would not recommend it. The book is much better used as a textbook than a playground, although younger artists will find this "drawable" feature to their liking. If in the past books based solely on one company's characters have seemed unimaginative and merely promotional, this book will shatter all preconceptions. Add into the bargain that it includes a pencil and markers, and you're all set. A definite must have!
At first I was reluctant to buy this book because it was in the kiddie section, but I figured that I would give it a try. I though that since it is a kids book it would be pretty good, I was very right! I highly recomend this book for those who are just learning how to draw and even to those who already can.
Great for kids or adults. This book is smaller than it looks, but is packed with goodies. It has a pouch with washable markers and a pencil. The book also has tracing pages, and encourages you to have fun and scribble in the book. Has seperate sections on drawing faces, muscles, hands, and feet. Another part of the book shows you how to convey movement and action to your drawings so they look more animated. The text is really encouraging and convinces you to try stuff you thought was over your abilities. It shows you how to have fun while you learn. This would be great for a taking on travel on plane or car. I am having a blast with this book. This book is better than the Lee Ames books.
I saw this book in my brother's room a while back and since I've been doodling (pretty pathetically) in most of my classes, i figured it might do me some good to take a look at this book. it is amazing!! I've never been a great artist, but this book has shown me how to draw teh marvel characters and I can apply some of that knowledge now to my other doodles. DEFINITELY get it!!!!
My brother gave this to me and when I was done with it I could draw better than I was able to before. It takes you through step-by-step and shows you the whole process of drawing super heroes. If you want to draw well, I would definately recommend this book.
This book is a great way to help with the basics of most comic heroes. It also provides space within the book to trace and add to the figures already printed. This book has helped many people to think of new characters of their own. I speak of this book with the highest recommendations. So go out and buy it!Casey Miller (aliyalex@iamerica.net) --17yrs
