This wonderful collection of instructional books uses accessible language and helpful illustrations to teach budding artists how to draw. Knights, fairies, and vampires are just some of the spell-binding characters that children will learn to draw. Important artistic concepts like shading and perspective are explained in easy-to-understand terms and are paired with explanatory illustrations. Readers are encouraged to explore art and to learn about other artists while developing their own style.
