Drawing Horses: That Look Real (Quick Starts for Kids!)

Rating:
Summary: Great!
Review: Hi, I'm the author, and I wanted to share with you why I wrote this book. All the "drawing horses" books I've ever seen are full of great looking pictures of horses. The drawings would look fantastic in an art class or museum. However, it's tough for kids to draw at that level, and it can be very discouraging. I know, because I've been teaching cartooning and art classes for children for many years.
So, I applied the simple, common-sense techniques I developed as a cartoonist and teacher, and came up with "Drawing Horses That Look Real." There are step-by-step instructions from muzzle to tail, and my special cartooning secrets are outlined in a fun format that kids can master quickly. The book speaks directly to the reader, and nothing is left to chance. Most of all, the level of drawing is just right for kids, and can be enjoyed by anyone with patience and practice! I hope that many kids who love these fine animals will also love my book.

Review: My 10 year old daughter chose this book, and she loves it! The author's review is very accurate. Kids of different skill levels of drawing will enjoy this book and get a lot out of it. Mine is not an artistically "gifted" child - but she is happy with her new ability to make her drawings look like horses! Children who love to draw and will spend a lot of time on a drawing will appreciate ALL the wonderful tips and hints to draw and style the horses. The format is friendly - and even if she doesn't "do" all the details herself (the different braided manes, pairings of horses etc) mine LOVES looking at the pictures and having the simple and clear explanations. Highly reccomended!
