Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A bevy of companion titles arrives just in time for back-to-school reading. With nary a note of text (save a pointed front-page explanation and one-word labels, as in his other drawing books), Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Weirdos uses hieroglyphics-like spreads to teach the art of illustrating characters such as "Evil Eva" and "Napoleon Bonyparts." Other monsters include a witch, werewolf and vampire.
Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-4-This simple cartoon book features a great cast of monsters to draw, from a slimy green Dracula and a garish yellow Frankenstein, who lumbers across two pages, to a mean-looking werewolf, a red devil, and more. Napoleon Bonyparts's skeleton is detailed and could even be useful for science projects and reports (hat removed, of course). This delightful book improves on Ed Emberley's Halloween Drawing Book (Little, Brown, 1995) and will be useful at the end of October, but ghoul lovers will want it all year long.

5.0 out of 5 stars I taught myself to draw with Ed Emberley!, October 28, 2007

By	Michelle A. Cope "editor, author, illustrator" (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Weirdos (Ed Emberley Drawing Books) (Paperback)

Ed Emberley is amazing. This book is great for Halloween or those times when you want to draw a monster or two. I taught myself how to use Illustrator and Ed's books are a great resource because of the way he simplifies each drawing. Don't fear, this book can be used just as well with pencils, crayons or markers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute, February 6, 2007

By	Tracy Latham "wretchasketch" (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Weirdos (Paperback)

I love the style of the cartoons in these books by Ed Emberly. I got several of them for my kids. I would have loved them as a youngster, but my boys aren't all that thrilled with them I don't think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easiest books to use to learn to draw, August 27, 2005

By	microjoe - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Weirdos (Paperback)

Ed Emberly has made some wonderful books for kids and grown-ups of any age that have no drawing skills, but want to learn a simple way. His books are the easiest books to get you started if you have no previous drawing skills. He starts with a step by step illustrated lesson to draw one simple item. First a simple straight line here, then insert a circle then, then another line, step by step along the way and before you know it you have a completed drawing that you can be really proud of. I teach Cub Socuts and this artist makes the perfect book for teaching a class when you are a volunteer yourself that is not an art pro.

In this one, he teaches us to make monsters of all sorts like a witch, wolfman, Frankenstein, vampire, Also see his book, "Make a World", and "The Big Green Drawing Book". If you want more Halloween related drawings including cats, jack o'lanterns, and a full haunted house, try Ed Emberley's "Big Orange Drawing Book".
