Editorial Reviews

Review

"An excellent book that is highly recommended to be kept in school libraries. It will be really useful during drawing sessions to guide students in a very practical and methodical way. Some of the ideas given are fun and unique and it is also a stress-free way of learning which makes it very useful guide for those who enjoy drawing and also for those who are trying to get into drawing." --Art Supplies Hub

"With How To Draw Cool Stuff, you can learn step-by-step how to draw anything with confidence. My kids love drawing and are naturally talented when it comes to art, drawing, and painting. That being said, they both strive to make their drawings more realistic." --Akron Ohio Moms

As an adult who used to love art as a kid, I can't express enough how thankful I am for How to Draw Cool Stuff: A Drawing Guide for Teachers and Students. This book has reignited my passion for drawing and has been an absolute blast to work through.

The step-by-step guides make it easy for anyone, regardless of skill level, to follow along and create some truly amazing pieces. The book covers everything from basic shapes and shading techniques to more complex designs and patterns, and the results are nothing short of impressive.

But what I love most about How to Draw Cool Stuff is how it encourages creativity and experimentation. Each section provides plenty of opportunities to personalize and add your own unique flair to each drawing. It's a fantastic way to unwind and tap into your inner artist.

Overall, I highly recommend How to Draw Cool Stuff for anyone looking to get back into drawing or for those who want to develop their skills further. It's been an absolute joy to work through, and I can't wait to see where my newfound creativity takes me next!

This book helps to have fun while learning to draw. There are many examples to practice drawing. I'm getting the next book too.

Funnily enough, a BOOK was my daughter's favorite Christmas present. She's 8 but is an aspiring artist. Already shading and drawing with a lot of depth and texture. Although this book is probably more geared toward adults, she was really excited to receive it. She's already half way through the drawing instruction and has produced some mind-blowing art for an 8 year old! This book is put together well and seems to be easy to follow :)
