My Thoughts

This was a neat book. If you follow this book from the beginning all the way to the end, you'll learn how to draw cartoon characters step by step. This book takes you from sketching a face, to a body, arms, legs, and so on. It helps with a wide variety of sketches, such as a fox, monster, dinosaur, etc.

I got this for my daughter who loves to draw. Since she has started to use this book, I have seen an improvement in her drawing. She was already a very good artist, but it seems she's learned to draw a face sideways, as well as better work on her animals bodies.

This book is great for all ages. My daughter is nine, but I think a child younger would enjoy this as well as an adult who wants to sharpen up their skill. I enjoyed looking through this with my daughter.
