This is a really nice book full of cutie pie animals to learn to draw.But this is for someone who probably already shows some drawing promise and or interest.I am a great stick figure drawer,not really,and am going to have to really study these instructions more than a few times just doing basic things.I have a granddaughter that is artistic and I will definitely share the book with her .I am sure she will have better success ,This is a nice,thick book chock full of pictures and tips.I have never used an instructional book to learn to draw but this is fun to look through and see where I need to improve just to be able to entertain myself and it would be fun to show off your own artwork and say ,"Can you believe I drew this?".
