This step-by-step drawing book illustrates ten different characters -- the fairies Beck, Bess, Fira, Lily, Prilla, Rani, Tinker Bell and Vidia; the sparrow man Terence; and Queen Clarion. Best for older elementary-school to early high-school kids, it has easy-to-follow illustrations but goes into lots of intricate detail. Budding artists can use it to create full figures as well as portraits, each in four steps. The sections for Tinker Bell, Rani, Beck, Fira and Vidia also show how to draw portrait details such as shoulders, hair and eyelashes. Throughout the book, sidebar sketches display details such as noses, lips, eyes, clothing and wings, and show both proper and improper techniques. The book itself is printed on quality gloss paper stock, and nicely illustrated with soft floral backgrounds and leafy borders.

One final note: The female figures here all share the impossibly tiny waists common in cartoons and, for that matter, fashion illustration, but they don't have exaggerated bustlines or hips. And though the faces have plenty of personality -- Vidia bears a striking resemblance to Meg, from Disney's "Hercules" -- there's no cleavage, and none of the skirts or dresses shown are very high cut.

This is the best book of drawing Fairies I have ever seen. My three granddaugthers are all seven years old and they were able to drawing the fairies.

Nice book. A little complex for kids under 10.

it shows u how to draw the fairys heads and then a separate pic of their full bodies. and it has some tips to show u how individual fairys are drawn like tinks cheeks always look like this - not this and so on . great for little artist :)

I am very glad that I ordered this book. It has very detailed illustrations to help me get a handle on drawing my fairys.

This is not my favorite of the "Learn to Draw" books, but I am not quite as advanced as these pictures. I am better at the non-detailed ones, like Monsters Inc, and Winnie the Pooh. But it is still a very good book.

The text is beautifully done and easy to follow. Anyone wanting to learn how to draw fairies will find this book to be extremely beneficial. I highly recommend it for the "budding" artist.

I bought the book for my 4 yr old who loves fairies. The basic concept she understood, but the technique was still a little too advanced for her. She enjoyed me helping her with it. I would recommend it as a stand alone for kids over about 7 yrs old, but younger than that expect to work with them as a joint project.

I bought this to spend my spare time drawing, it's not a thick book, actually very thin, however it does teach you the steps to drawing the fairies.

Beautiful illustrations and great book in general. Highly recommend. My daugher loves to draw, loves fairies and loves drawing them so this was a big hit.
