Indispensible,
 Â
When I was in first grade, I had an art teacher who tried to show us how to draw using circles, lines, perspective, and so on, and I remember clearly the encounter of knowing that I may possibly draw circles (and to an extent, honest lines) but there was no way I may possibly place them together in a way that would look anything like the teacher’s work.
This book was my salvation. Within these pages you’ll find instructions on how to draw all kinds of creatures, from the lowly ant to an elaborate dragon, all by adding simple shapes (traingles, circles, linnes) one-at-a-time.
There is considerable truth in this book (and the author’s others, which I unfortunately didn’t learn until recently). How simplicity can communicate. How you can tackle something huge by working in small steps. How you can make something you imagine come to like.
To this day I can take pleasure in drawing pictures, even though they’re simple and I’ve never taken an art class since first grade, and I attribute a lot of that joy to this book. And nothing compares to giving a frustrated five-year-ancient an Emberly book and watching his face light up as he realizes that maybe he can make his drawings more than just scribbles.
This book (and the others) cannot be recommend too highly.

|Splendid!! The best ‘get you started’ book!,
 Â
This book is a fantastic gift for a outcome – or, indeed, anyone who struggles to get started on the road to drawing animals. Emberley takes elementary shapes and shows you how to place them together, step by step, to make stylised but character-filled drawings of animals. His selection is eclectic and the small drawings are splendid: giraffes, porcupines, raccoons, wolves, dogs, cats, lions, tigers…!
It’ll kick-start a budding artist, break the ‘I can’t draw anything’ mood everyone sometimes finds themseleves in, and is a valuable tool to get kids over the initial inability to draw things that ‘look excellent’.
I like it. I use it every now and then when I need to ‘get the gist’ of an animal I am trying to capture on document. It’s perfectly simple and effective.

|No matter what your age, this book will help you to draw.,
Ed Emberly’s Drawing Book of Animals is a book that crosses age barriers. Whether you are a kindergarten student or an adult who has a phobia in this area drawing anything, with this book you can achieve success. I have used this book in my kindergarten classroom with splendid results. All my students thought they may possibly draw anything and I found out by following the simple directions that I may possibly too. I highly recommend this book as a gift to your young friends. Make it a complete gift with a pack of colored pens or pencils and a pad. Will keep them occupied for hours. It is excellent family fun for all to sit around the table and draw together. Even older kids quit feeling self conscious in this area their drawing and start to delight in making a picture that looks like what they want it to look like. Now if you don’t have any kids in mind don’t let that stop you. If you know someone who does crafts, or tapestry they will delight in it too. Many thoughts for decoration. Check out Ed Emberly’s other titles too. Each book is based on the same principle of reducing all pictures into the basic shapes and lines we all can draw when we doodle. Ed makes your doodles into something else. Art!
