4.0 out of 5 stars Smaller format?, August 3, 1999

By A Customer

Hmm. It seems that they've lopped-off a couple of inches from the height and width of the new "How to Draw" titles. It's still a good book with detailed drawing tips. Not for the absolute beginner though. A budding artist should look into some of the earlier Walter Foster drawing/animation books.

4.0 out of 5 stars How To Draw..., September 12, 2002

By	Petra Waser (Switzerland) - See all my reviews

I have 5 volumes of the HOW TO DRAW series and I think this is one of the best because it shows a variety of different characters, ape, man, woman, panther... of course, there would be more to learn about Tarzan and how to draw the animals and maybe even some items like the treehouse or similar, but you can't have everything. It's a good reference book if you want to try your hand at drawing. Beginners will find it a challenge to "copy" a given picture following the step by step instructions. Artists with some experience will find the hints and a glance at the techniques used helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Drawing for the unartistic, August 14, 2001

This review is from: How to Draw Disney's Tarzan (Paperback)

I have maximum enthusiasm and minimal artistic abilities. I stripped a small wooden dresser and began repainting it for the nursery. Using this book, a pencil with a good eraser, and a lot of sunlight and patience, I created a remarkable young Tarzan and his ape mom! I was so impressed with myself, I sat back and stared at it for a long time. I've been drawing misfigured and misproportioned Disney characters for my neices and nephews for a long time. Finally, with the help of this book, I was able to make some characters that would be instantly recognizable by anyone, even if they're not entirely forgiving tiny tots!
