My Take on the Book
This was a great drawing book that had great instruction on how to draw so many things! You can learn how to draw 100 things and to be honest, I found that I got better and better the more times I practiced. Once I got comfortable with the instruction I was able to make modifications that made the images even more unique. If you love to draw with your kids this is a book that will really help you get better at drawing!
