Customer Reviews

GOOD FUN AND A GREAT CONFIDENCE BUILDER
I brought this for my daughter for Christmas. She decided to take Art at GCSE level but was finding it a bit of hard work, mainly due to a lack of confidence in her own ability. However, within a few days of Christmas and a few pages of this book later, we now have sketches all over the house and she is really enthusiastic about going back to school and showing off her new talent and belief in herself! I might even have a go myself!

Quite simply a lot of fun
I bought this book to share with my 12 year old daughter who is much better at drawing than me. I love the inspirational introduction, which informs us that there’s no such thing as a mistake, and quickly builds up confidence. Before you know it, you’re just drawing for fun. A great book to share, and see who can come up with the most imaginative sketches.

A treat for the inner child - and the outer adult
I originally saw this in a children's bookshop - but it is far too good for children. It restores the childish joy of drawing and copying things simply for fun to anybody. I bought a copy for my wife as a Christmas present, and for the first time in her life she is happily sketching for pleasure. A wonderful boost to the self-confidence, and a real treat for the inner child!
Buy it for everybody you know who thinks that they are talentless when it comes to art.
