Synopsis

This ingenious, full-colour book brings together drawing projects and fun facts. Young readers will love learning about animals, transport, history, and more as they grow in artistic confidence.

The simple, step-by-step instructions in this book have been carefully designed to make drawing easy, accessible, and undaunting. Each project features nine steps, with each step introducing a minimal amount of the new strokes. These are accompanied by intriguing ideas about the person, machine, or animal that readers are drawing.

• As they sketch a tiger's stripes, they can learn why tigers need stripes.
• While they are drawing a neanderthal, they can think about the tools that they used.
• While drawing a space craft, they can discover how rockets move.

This book really puts the "art" into "smart!" Ideal for children aged 6+.
