HELP, I can't stop drawing!!!
I got this book for my son for Christmas, and it looked like fun--the animals in it, though very simply made were incredibly cute--so I just had to try a few of them out before I wrapped it. Soon I was filling page after page with colorful, adorable Emberley-style creatures. Oh my, how sweet they looked! I love the giraffe, the lion, the lady bug,...well, all of them, really.
These guys are going to be my new "doodle-bugs" instead of my usual lines which I do when I am bored. Everyone will be so impressed at how talented I am! Seriously, Emberley is some kind of genius to work out all these amazing critters to draw.
The animals are colorful (I like to do them in markers best), and are made of just a few basic shapes and lines. Each step in the process (about five steps, I think) is clearly outlined, and fool-proof.
My son likes the book, too. Oh, and he is a college graduate, 23 years old, and he says, "all of my friends are artists, but I can't draw at all". Pretty much, true. It was sort of a gag-gift, but a real gift at the same time.
You can also give this book to children.
Simple and sweet way to teach children to draw
Recently I bought Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Animals for my five year old daughter who loves art, but wanted more formal training. This book is *perfect*! Everything about it is tailored for children who can draw some shapes and it progresses from simple animals to the lovely, elaborate dragon at the end. My daughter is learning how to draw better shapes (and animals) without getting frustrated. The step-by-step simple instructions capture a child's attention and makes them more focused on the process than the end result. Overall, a really wonderful book!
Blast fom my past that my kids love, too!
I had this book as a kid and loved it - no written instructions, just step by step pictures that are easy to follow. My 11-yr old and 7-yr old both like it. The final pictures are full of character and are really fun. This may not be a book for a kid who's really serious about drawing, but it's great fun for the average artist, adults included.
