Our work supervisor bought this for everyone in the group
to use as a team-building-think-out-of-the box-exercise, as
well, we are a bunch of computer types and artistic things
don't usually appeal. Most thought she was out of box.
I learned how to draw a radish.

This is one of the most memorable books I've ever read. I love it with an aching nostalgia. My best friend got a copy when we were 15 and we read and re-read it for years. We made t-shirts with radishes on them. We wrote each other notes on bananas. And I still draw sleeping cats and excited chicks when I'm bored.

Questo vecchio libro che io mi sono recuperato usato, come del resto dice il titolo stesso, è indubbiamente nato per far passare il tempo in ufficio, invece che lavorare. Beh, a volte si è costretti a portarsi da casa delle cose che in ufficio non si trovano di certo: il concetto è comunque quello.

Dal mio punto di vista - ve lo confesso: cercavo un corso di disegno per imbranati i cui figli duemezzenni vogliono che il papà gli faccia i disegni, e il cui papà non sappia affatto da dove partire - non è esattamente il massimo, anche se ci sono molte immagini divertenti da disegnare in pochi tratti. Però il testo è abbastanza stupido da essere comunque apprezzabile in ogni caso: e magari qualche disegnino imparerò a farlo anch'io!

Fun little book with quirky drawing lessons, such as a fish going to work on Monday morning, worms at the beach, and the titular radish (including a variation of the radish reading the morning paper). It also has fun craft ideas for the workplace, using office supplies. A cute, creative little book, even if you don't have an office job. I have a lot of "serious" drawing books, and it's refreshing to have a more tongue-in-cheek book on the subject. The drawing lessons are simple and fun, and you can honestly say you can draw afterwards!
