Lots of duplicates in this book series.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2020

If I had only bought this one book in the series, I’d probably have been pleased with it. However, I have bought three. I bought them for my Mum, as a gift, as she has developed an interest in drawing in her later years, and I thought she’d like some drawing guides.

The issue with this book series is that they have many duplicates. I’ve shown just a few of them in some photographs, but there are more. It’s disappointing as I’m now giving my Mum three books that contain a lot of the same things inside.

On top of that, I find a few of the guides a little strange. One example shows 12 steps to draw a basic face. The first 11 steps focus on proportion, shape and features, and then step 12 shows a drastically different result from step 11, with the instruction ‘Add hair and shade’. I appreciate that it is intended as a basic face, but then, why include step 12? It just seems odd - either keep it basic, or add more steps between 11 and 12, so the student can reach the results in step 12.

My 12 year arty daughter loves this book, it’s definitely helping her improve her drawing skills and challenging her to try new objects to draw - would recommend for your budding artist and it’s her go to book when she’s on no tv/iPhone time!

Not what I expected according to the description.

As a non-Christian adult I find this book completely useless.
"Cool Stuff" is full chapters on Christmas, Easter, crosses and praying hands. It's a large percentage of the book.
Then cutesy Halloween and cartoon animals, various banners and other nonsense.

Grrrrr!

As an elementary school teacher, this is exactly what I was looking for! The written notes for the children are informative and interesting, and beautifully laid out. The step by step instructions make it easy for the children to follow along to produce really good pieces of art. The exercises in the book help them to develop their own skills. And there is a very wide range of topics, covering just about anything I would ever want to teach.
In my opinion, this book is well worth buying. I can recommend it to any teacher who wants to help their children improve their drawing skills, or to anyone who wants to become a better artist themselves.

Item looks good, parcel left not.

This book looks good it is for a xmas present. It has plenty of pages. My star reduction is how my parcel was left. There was a porch to hide it in. Instead the parcel was propped up smack bang in front of my door for any passer by to clearly see. Not hidden not tucked round the corner of the porch which most parcels are. No, highlighted against black front door backdrop shining bright like a lighthouse....... Honestly.

this is a great easy to follow with no added fluff step by step guide to the basics you need to draw well. This will complement what my daughter is learning for her GCSE well, I know I have seen her syllabus.

This was bought for my daughter to help with some of the technical aspects of drawing - she has learned a lot from this book. It has given her a lot of confidence in her art. Very well written and illustrated.

Arrived promptly. Book is full of amazing ideas with a step by step illustrated guide all the way to a complete drawing. I bought the other book too as Christmas gifts for 11 year olds. Book is thicker than I thought and filled with ideas to help improve your drawing skills I would recommend definitely.
