I like to draw as a hobby, and I'm a huge fan of Disney. It's been my mission to draw Disney characters well, but also I've been collecting the "Learn To Draw Disney" books.I pre-ordered this last year when I saw that they were making a book devoted to villains; just to have it. So seeing what I've seen from other "Learn to Draw" titles like "Learn to Draw Disney Princesses" I knew I was going to get reused lessons from older releases.We do have a couple classic Disney Villains, such as Pete and The Big Bad Wolf. I for one haven't seen them in other books, so that put a big smile on my face. There are others, that I haven't seen in other "Learn to Draw" books such as Capt. Hook and the Queen of hearts, but a lot of this book is comprised of lessons reused from other "Learn to Draw Disney" books. They didn't put much thought or effort or originality into this one. They took what villains they had from previous "Learn to Draw" books, and made a new book out of them.So, if you have "Learn to Draw The Little Mermaid", you're going to get the exact same lesson for Ursula in "Learn to Draw Disney Villains". The same goes for Jafar and Iago from "Learn to Draw Aladdin" as well as "Scar, Banzai, Shenzi and Ed from "Learn to Draw The Lion King". It doesn't end there. I mean, the book is cool if you never got your hands on those out-of-print older books.But... the BIG problem with reusing old stuff and not adding much of anything new, is that in those old, out-of-print books (for the most part), the heroes: Ariel, Aladdin, Jasmine, Simba etc. get the coverage, the poses, the expressions, in action etc. and the villains are lucky to have a couple of pages.
