I had never really considered fingerprint art until I was reviewing products this year. Now I'm hooked; fingerprint art is so adorable! Learn how to make the cutest little characters ever with fingerprint stamping and a few simple drawn lines. Make birds, animals, insects, people of different occupations, transportation, and so much more. Everyone has artistic talent, right at their fingertips! ~ Megan
Publisher's Description of Ed Emberley's Fingerprint Drawing Book
Using fingerprints and a few dots, scribbles, and lines, Ed Emberley shows would-be artists how to make all sorts of pictures, inlcuding frogs, trains, flowers, clowns, dragons, and more! This classic book is packed with fun things that kids-and many adults-really want to create. Easy and fun, the book provides hours of art-full fun.
I love the Ed Emberley books - all of the drawings of people and animals are absolutely adorable! Each drawing is done in a step-by-step manner with very basic lines and shapes until you end up with an unbelievably cute creation. The drawings are shown on progressive lines, with the shapes and lines for each step shown underneath each "evolved" picture. The Green book features mostly people and animals but please note that there is a small section containing a Dracula, Frankenstein, and Mr. Hyde. The Purple book features insects, animals, vehicles, pirates, etc., and the Red book contains lots of American symbols, ships, vehicles, animals, and Christmas paraphernalia (and a devil drawing). Overall, these books are very well done and with little natural artistic talent necessary, people of all ages can have great success at drawing. ~ Megan
