MY REVIEW: In "How to Draw: Easy Techniques and Step-by-Step Drawings for Kids", author and artist Aaria Baid has put together a creatively inspiring workbook and teaching tool. With simple instructions and illustrations, she guides readers through the basics of drawing--explaining lines, spheres, 3D shapes, shading, adding depth, proportion and scale, perspective, lettering, and much more. Learn to draw people, animals, landscapes, objects--even cartoons. Drawing is fun and relaxing, and seeing your skills improve with practice is quite rewarding. I am creative, but I lack basic artistic ability. From a young age, I have done all types of sewing and needlework, and I always wished that I could sketch out my own ideas and designs. While this book is recommended for ages 9 to 12, anyone who wants to learn to draw will enjoy this helpful teaching guide. I am now having much fun making sketches of my favorite subjects--my three beautiful black & white cats.
