Drawing made easy! Great for children and adults.,
By Brian D Markus (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Big Yellow Drawing Book (Paperback)
This step by step drawing book was great for my family. We got three, one for myself one for my son and one for my wife. I noticed our stick figures turning into real drawings almost instantly. This book goes over theory, and history in step by step examples that even my 5 year old could follow! I would recommend this book to anyone. It's good for all levels, from the novice to the advanced.

Learn to draw, even if you can't draw,

This review is from: The Big Yellow Drawing Book (Paperback)
Many, many years ago, I took a class from the book's author, Dan O'Neill in San Francisco. I had always liked to draw since I was a kid, but I couldn't really draw comic strip type characters and objects. I also couldn't tell a credible story. Dan's class and book changed all that. It didn't turn me into a "published" comic artist, but for many years, I kept my co-workers and friends informed and entertained with my daily submissions.
Eventually, what I learned became the basis for teaching each of my children how to draw. My daughter took it to heart and is currently a graphic design major at a liberal arts college in the Pacific Northwest. I don't know where Dan is now or what he's doing, but I wish him well and I'm pleased to see you can still buy this book.
