5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, Wonderful Book!, July 17, 1999
By A Customer
It is certainly refreshing to have a book live up to its promise, but this book, like all Klutz books, is worth every dollar. Having worked through about half the book currently, I am already enjoying drawing, sketching, and just plain doodling with more enthusiasm than when I was a kid! Certainly a great idea for geniune children and the young at heart as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and fun! A winner..., December 19, 2003
This a wonderfully constucted (board covers and spiral bound) book that comes with pencils. The book is about drawing and meant to be drawn upon...what a combo!

There is instuction in the book but it's subtle and never says *a sky should look like this and a dog like this*. It's more about the joy of drawing and just getting started than it is about how to draw anything in a line by line way. A great thing for kids as they get to develope their own style.

That isn't to say there aren't lessons to be learned (perspective, shading, faces...showing movement, etc) The book is set up with small amounts of text and drawings (almost doodles) on the pages with the expectation that you will draw your own designs on the blank spaces. One thing I just love is that the pictures they included as examples are very sketchy and loose... simple and quickly drawn. Nothing that anyone would look at and say "I could never do that!" about. I think that is wonderful. I have seen too many how to draw books where the results look nothing short of professional and when I buy them for my son he just looks at them and thinks he could never duplicate the result. Its intimidating and he won't even try.

with this book... The examples, looking more like doodles, are very inviting and non-threatening. Almost inviting you to add your own. Perfect!

The text is helpful and humorous. Some pages there is very little and others...there is more but it's all friendly and conversational. This is a real winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Encouraging!, February 25, 2001
By yarden "yarden" (portland, or) - See all my reviews
This book is an encouraging work by quirky illustrator Quentin Blake. The reader is encouraged to try drawing, and to enjoy what comes out of the pencil/pen! Blake's writing is as humorous as his drawings, and not disappointingly, his drawings linger near the edges of each page beckoning you to draw companions for them.

I would recommend this book to anyone too embarrassed about her stick figures to ever draw one in public, but who secretly cherishes a desire to doodle with style.
