5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Fun!!!, April 6, 1999

By A Customer

Mark Kistler has done it again! As an avid reader of his past writings, I was pleased to see he has raised the bar on drawing instruction yet another notch. He continues to amaze in his newest book! He imparts his drawing lessons in an extremely entertaining and fun manner. I am always amazed at how he so adeptly reaches an audience that spans so many generations. My eighty-year old grandfather enjoyed his latest book as much as my ten-year old daughter. I was especially delighted to see that a companion workbook was offered and I must say it lived up to my highest expectations! Thank you Mark Kistler!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Me draw.....yeah uh-huh right, August 22, 2002

By	Kate Paul (Henderson, NV United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 8 year old son is quite the artist. He can draw what he sees. He was given this book by my mother and ignored it for quite awhile.....so one hot boring summer day while cleaning his room I found it and started messing around.....I am so amazed at what I have put on paper. I am a 35 year old woman who can't draw more than a stick figure....well not anymore!!! Not only does my refrigerator door have my childrens art work -- IT HAS MINE!!!! THANK YOU MARK! Did not know what I was missing.
