How to Draw 101 Funny People

Each book in this series shows kids how to draw 101 objects relevant to the overall theme of the book. There is no instructional text, as the directions are shown through a series of six (with a few exceptions) simple drawing steps. Each step is shown in its own frame (rather like a comic strip) for a clean, easy to follow layout. The steps are clearly shown and do not require any erasing - kids are only drawing lines that will be visible and necessary in the finished drawing. (In some how to draw books this is not the case, as kids start with an overall shape and then have to erase bits as they add legs, tails, etc.) The end products are realistic, although some tend more towards the cartoon (i.e. in Things That Go each drawing looks realistic yet somewhat simplified, but in Animals the drawings have more of a cartoonish appearance - chubbier proportions, subtle expressions, etc.). 48 pgs, pb. - Melissa
