The History of Walter T. Foster

More than 80 years ago, Mr. Walter T. Foster set out to prove that anyone can learn to draw. The 'how to' art books he wrote, illustrated, printed, bound, packaged, and shipped on his own soon grew tremendously in popularity! Today the Walter Foster Publishing company carries on the tradition, developing books and kits that encourage creativity and spark imaginations.

More About the Author

David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim met and fell in love while studying at the Parsons School of Design in New York City. When Sun-Min moved back to Korea, the couple maintained a long-distance relationship by writing each other letters, on which David began drawing little ugly creatures. Sun-Min surprised David by sewing a plush version of one of his characters as a Christmas gift, and the Uglydolls were born! Several years and many dolls later, they are happily married and live in Los Angeles.

Very cleverly written. Easy to follow instructions. I wish there were more activity books like this out there for the smarty pants beginning drawers.

Uglydolls are really cool, this kit is great, it's not only about drawing in some ways, and yes drawing Uglys can be hard!

I bought this book for my nephew who hates the way he draws. He looks at older artists and makes comments about how ugly his drawings are compared to theirs. I told him that those flaws are also appreciated, and that many people draw in odd styles but he didn't believe me (you know how it is talking to an 11 year old - you gotta prove everything to them). So this book was perfect for him! Its simple, cute, and made us all smile with each story. He loves it!

I almost want my own Uglydoll book!

Thanks!
