Enhance your purchase
Explore almost every way imaginable to draw dolphins, trains, flowers, food, and more with 20 Ways to Draw Everything.
Designed to offer artists, designers, and doodlers fun illustration inspiration, each spread of this portable sketchbook features 20 art examples—simplified, modernized, and reduced to the most basic elements—showing you how simple abstract shapes and forms create the building blocks of any item that you want to draw. Each of the 20 interpretations provides a different, interesting approach to drawing a single item, providing loads of inspiration for your own drawing.
Either on the opposite page or right alongside the example drawings, you'll be prompted to draw 20 of each thing, from trees and flowers to wild shapes and sea creatures and everything in between. This is not a step-by-step technique book, but rather an opportunity for you to draw your own versions of these amazing doodles side-by-side the inspiration pieces.
Organized into the sections of “Get Up and Go,” “Under the Sea,” and “Oodles of Doodles,” enjoy hours of creative fun drawing your versions of iconic subjects, such as:
- Zigzags, hearts, spirals, and teardrops
- Crabs, mermaids, sharks, and walruses
- Bikes, trains, planes, and hot air balloons
- And so much more
Featuring illustrations by Trina Dalziel, James Gulliver Hancock, and Rachael Taylor, this amazing compilation of over 100 design themes and prompts, get ready to learn how to draw truly everything!

About the Author
Publishing and supplying books to wholesalers, mail order companies, and retail stores for over 60 years, Chartwell Books publishes across a wide range of subjects, including history, craft, home reference, puzzles and games, music and music instruction, art instruction, transportation, and more.
Trina Dalziel has worked as a freelance illustrator for over seventeen years. Originally from the North of Scotland, she grew up on a tomato farm before living in the Netherlands, Copenhagen, Helsinki, and Paris. She earned a degree in illustration, and at the post-graduate level studied twentieth-century art and design history, which has all fed into her love of art, design, nature, animals, Scandinavia and European cities. She lives in London where she greatly appreciates the access to exhibitions, galleries, and museums which fuel her inspiration and research.
James Gulliver Hancock feels sick when he’s not drawing. He panics that he may not be able to draw everything in the world… at least once. His obsession with re-imagining his world has seen him work for major print, TV, and music publishing releases, including Coca-Cola, Ford Motors, Herman Miller, Businessweek Magazine, The New York Times, and Simon&Schuster. He has participated in projects in the USA, the UK, Indonesia, Austria, Germany, France, and Australia, taking his whimsical perception around the world. Currently he works out of two studios: one in The Pencil Factory in Brooklyn, New York, and from his homeland studio by the beach in Sydney, Australia.

The book contains 100 themes, Transportation, Sea Life, and Doodles. Each theme has twenty examples for the artist to copy and build upon if so desired. I using only three themes to be very limited.
Again, this is not a book that teaches a person how to sketch. There is no section that discusses types of artistic materials to use. Instead 20 Ways to Draw Everything is a book to help an artist who is looking for inspiration or just some practice material.
For someone who is already comfortable with their art, this may be a useful book. A beginning artist will probably find the lack of guidance frustating.
My thanks to the publisher for providing me with a review copy. I have written a fair and honest review.
This is emphatically *not* a step-by-step tutorial guide. Rather, it's a listing of 100 objects grouped thematically with numerous interpretations of each. There are some antique cars, bicycles, anchors, random doodles, and so on. They range from very simple and stylistic (stick figures) to quite elaborate and pattern rich "Zentangle" type filled shapes. There are blank spaces on each page to allow the reader to fill in or reproduce the drawings.
The pages can be used as drawing prompts. Quite a number of them would make wonderful limbering and warming up exercises for art students to get lines and marks onto their surfaces. Journalers and doodlers will find a lot of inspiration here. Many of the line drawings would be nice for other crafts such as lino printing, surface embroidery, leatherwork, whittling, contemporary calligraphy/illumination, and possibly weaving or knitting.
This would be a good selection for the artist's studio for reference, maker's groups, guilds and group studios or libraries.
Four stars.
