Cute & Fun
Cute and fun artwork, and easy to duplicate even for children. My only gripe on this book is that it is VERY short, so I guess you get what you pay for, plus there is very little overview or explanation to help you draw anything other than what is pictured in the book. If you just want to draw the images they have, its a great start to get a hold on the concepts but you would definitely need a more advanced book almost right off the bat.
The best way to teach drawing I've ever seen!
I was thrilled when I received my copies of Steve Barr's books. His approach to teaching the art of drawing cartoons is fantastic! From the beginning, he points out that there are »No Rules!«. I love this approach for teaching children, and also for »big kids« like myself! People of all ages will learn a lot from his books, and have so much fun along the way. Each book shows step-by-step ways to accomplish adorable cartoons. I highly recommend this book to parents with budding artists, and to schools for their art classes!
