My 8 year old niece is very artistic and loves animals, so I took a chance and bought this, "how to" books as one of her Christmas presents. I let her open it early during a recent trip home, and was pleasantly surprised at her reaction. I was even more surprised when she spent the next few hours drawing many of the animals using the step by step visual instructions. We were amazed at how great the animals looked when she finished drawing them; we were able to identify which animal it was 99% of the time, (impressive for someone new to drawing).
To draw an animal you follow the a row of, "step by step" pictures which built on each other, and end with a completed animal. For example, to draw a fox, first there was a picture of a circle, then an oval attached to the circle for the body, then the long tail, etc ... down to the whiskers. And since the instructions are all pictorial, she could do these entirely on her own. They were easy enough for her to do, but not so simple for her to become bored and lose interest. There were up about 4 animals you could draw per page, so it will take some time for her to draw all of them, (and knowing my niece, she'll then go back to ones she liked best to improve and perfect them).
II bought another "how to" drawing book from a different author as well, (How to Draw Princesses and Other Fairy Tales by
Barbara Soloff Levy) not knowing if she'd like the way one book taught over the other. Upon opening the book I could see that Ed Emberley's book was far superior for beginning artists. My niece apparently agrees, because despite LOVING all things princess, she flipped through the Princesses "how to" book, then put it aside and spent the rest of the day drawing the animals from Ed Emberly's Drawing Book.
I will definitely be buying more Ed Emberley drawing books in the future!
My daughter has great aspirations of becoming an artist. The problem is that I am so unskilled, my brothers would refuse to play Pictionary with me growing up. I have no guidance to offer her. Enter Ed Emberley. I gave this to her for Christmas when she was on the older side of 5. We love it. I kid you not, for the first week after we bought it, she, her 4 year old brother, and I would sit around sketching animals for an hour or so at a stretch. It was like we became the Cleavers or something (I've actually never seen Leave it to Beaver, but this is the kind of thing I imagine they would do). The way Emberley breaks it down into easy-to-draw shapes made it easy and fun to do. Our drawings actually looked like the animals we were creating (a new thing for me). Even my 4 year old could do most of them (although he would get frustrated with some of the more complicated ones at the end). And in the following weeks, I'd see my kids trying to draw animals that weren't in the book by putting different shapes together. I highly recommend this!
In short, this is a classic. Whenever a children's book endures for decades after its debut, it has a certain magic. That it's a drawing book with little text is all the more remarkable.
I'm in my 50s now, and I remember checking this book out of the library and spending hours going through its many drawing examples. Building animals from simple shapes any kid can draw is part of the appeal. Author Emberley teaches in such a way that even the most dexterity-challenged can draw stylized animals. No artist's eye or hand needed, just fun results.
Few books today for children are an insta-buy. This is one of them. Every kid should have this in his or her library. And if you want it to pass down to others, the durable library binding is the way to go and well worth the slight added cost.
This book depicts an amazing way for children (of all ages!) to learn how to draw animals.
The simplistic yet detailed way the various pieces are put together to create the pictures is amazing and clear.
I had come across this book in random browsing and now I've bookmarked it for future use with my daughter (still a baby).
I bought a copy for my friend who has a 3 year old. That's well below the recommended age, but they are having fun doing it together. My friend would draw the first step (bigger version) of a picture, her 3 year old will trace over it, and then my friend would add the next step, etc. etc. I think it helps her daughter learn how to do it piece-wise and really see the image form.
One simple book--I can see many years of use from it.
Excellent inexpensive drawing guide. I had bought a couple different kinds of how-to drawing books for my daughter (age 6), all of which had ended with frustration and the phrase "maybe try again in a few years?" She loves to draw but found other guides too complicated or hard to follow along with. She LOVES this book, enough that in a room full of toys she goes looking for it. She's able to draw all of the animals now and is so proud of herself. I'll be getting more of the "Ed books" for her for Christmas, and won't bother with any other brands anymore.
