I can draw book is for beginners who wants to learn how to draw different objects like car, airplanes, animals etc.

This book is simple and easy. Author showed how to draw from simple basic shapes like circles, squares, ellipses, triangles.

Also short history of every object mentioned in this book. This is not my first drawing book. I have read You can draw in 30 days by Mark Kristler.

I love to collect drawing, calligraphy, graphic design books. I think currently I have around 50 something books.

I found this one in my childhood bedroom when visiting, and I realised how much the book thought me so I brought it home with me. It brought me so much joy as a kid, and there are so many options.

Of course you'll need to work on drawing perspectives etc. and other techniques other places, but the book gives you exactly what it says.

The basic idea with this book, as the title suggests, is to show that children can draw. It is of course much harder to draw something freehand, especially if you’re not gifted artistically and I think this book goes some way to levelling the playing field so to speak. I bought it for my daughter after she had trouble drawing cats and horses and in the end she gave up. Using this book though she amazed herself by realising that there’s more than one way to draw and following the instruction in this book she was able to create much better representations of what she was trying to draw. The book is also huge and has guides to drawing almost everything one could imagine. From dinosaurs to diggers, from Ferraris to farm animals, this book can be used on almost any drawing occasion.
