Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5–Any illustration series, particularly one including the various subjects above, must inevitably be compared to the standard in the field since 1974: Lee J. Amess Draw 50 titles (Broadway). Those books are almost completely wordless, with some general advice at the beginning, followed by step-by-step sketches that lead to a completed drawing. In contrast, these new titles are extremely wordy. Also, the font is fuzzy and thin, the color at times verges on a light gray, and the size ranges from standard to downright tiny. The end result is that the text is barely readable in many places, particularly when it merges with part of a picture. Another problem is the vocabulary. Words such as ellipse and axle are frequently used but arent defined in the glossary whereas chiaroscuro is explained both within the text and in the glossary. The steps often move from what is still a rough sketch to a suddenly complete, detailed drawing, while at other times the finished drawing does not appear. Libraries can pass on this series.
