Art for Kids: Drawing: The Only Drawing Book You'll Ever Need to Be the Artist You've Always Wanted to Be

This Drawing book is wonderful. The images are crisp and kids and adults will enjoy learning to draw with this great resource.

Good book

My son wanted to learn shading and this book taught him well! We did one lesson based on the shading chapter and he's been shading everything he draws every since. Straight forward and great for kids. I love this book!

I take this out when the grandkids come over and they enjoy drawing.

This is really a 4.5 but had to round up. Very detailed book. Soft gloss pages. Pastel shades for various sections. Content: Everyone Can Draw (motivational/encouraging); The Drawing Toolbox (basic supplies); Chpt 1 Open your Artist's Eyes; Chpt 2 Line Drawing; Chpt 3 Light and Shadow; Chpt 4 Proportion and Scale; Chpt 5 Perspective (great chapter on the lines and views; Chpt 6 Drawing Faces (focus on individual elements them combining); Chpt 7 Drawing Bodies (seeing the joints and proportion); Chpt 8 Anything Can Happen (imagination and creativity vs reality)...112 pages of instructions, examples and tips. It loses half star only because I feel it is a little too wordy for kids...not really child reading. My daughter flipped through the book and didn't want to read just wanted to try. She wants new to read it and relay the information and she is an avid reader who loves to draw. She started on the eye as she got the book today. But I rounded up because the content is great and she may read it if she is having problems following the diagram. Will update over time...she's jostling me for it as I was noting the chapters. Watching details and not reading. We'll see.

Great Product, exactly as described.

The book has all the basics needed by a child interested in learning the tools and techniques of drawing. I purchased Drawing, along with “Advanced Drawing” for my granddaughter.

This is suitable maybe for adolescents but not for younger children. My brighter year old, who is a competent reader and has taken a number of art classes, couldn't really follow it. Frankly, I didn't get much instruction out of either, when trying it for myself. The book is probably OK for a high school student with existing art skills, but the title is very misleading. It is not a good fit for kids.
