This book is a great start to teach young artists-- 1 grader and higher-- to draw people. It teaches kids to sketch, i.e. draw lightly first. The step-by-step instruction is very clear.

Not only is it a great book for introducing drawing of knights and castles, the author apparent is also fluent in the vocabulary of this yester-year theme. My first grader and I get to know the names of different weapons, name of different parts of the castles and the names of "things" people wear. A double treat!

I bought this book for my daughter who is 4. This book is great but would recommend for a 7 or 8 year old instead. For younger kids I would recommend the I Can Draw series.

We've checked out a lot of drawing books and the main problem I've found is that they are not detailed enough. For example, a certain animal drawing book(which I can't remember the name of right now) had a pretty picture of a horse, drawn in just three steps! Yep, three. From a few ovals and circles, to ovals, circles and lines for the legs to a fully fleshed out horse with streaming mane and muscled haunches, ridiculous, right?

This book is fabulous. There are step-by-step illustrations and they are easy to follow and reproduce (my five year old loves this book). The other books by this author are great too and we found almost all of them at the Library, but we liked them so much that I bought a few for birthdays and christmas.

The drawing is a little bit harder than some of the Ed Emberly drawing books, but if your child is willing to concentrate and spend a few hours on artwork, then this is the book for you.

This book makes it easy to draw excellent cartoon dragons. Though distinctly cartoonish, they are 'realistic' enough to be adapted for more serious looks.

One of the best things about this book is the clear instructions. What you are doing, as well as why you are doing it, is explained. The pictures are simple and not overly complicated.

I would definitely recommend this book both for children and adults who want an introduction to drawing dragons (and castles and knights).

My son is 6yrs old and loves this book. He sits for hours drawing. The instructions are simple enough for him and he has done some amazing pictures.

I bought this for my nephew who loved to draw and also loves anything to do with knights and dragons. He has enjoyed many hours of creating illustrations for his own stories.

My 8 year old son loves this book. It is geared more towards the young artist with "softer" pictures to look at than the usual creepy dragons etc.

These are such great books. I have a few books so far and plan on getting the rest of the series. My kids love these books. They make drawing so easy anybody can do it!
