Book Reviews of Drawing Horses: (That Look Real!) (Quick Starts for Kids!)
Book Review: Finally, a "Drawing Horses" book for young skill levels!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi, I'm the author, and I wanted to share with you why I wrote this book. All the "drawing horses" books I've ever seen are full of great looking pictures of horses. The drawings would look fantastic in an art class or museum. However, it's tough for kids to draw at that level, and it can be very discouraging. I know, because I've been teaching cartooning and art classes for children for many years.So, I applied the simple, common-sense techniques I developed as a cartoonist and teacher, and came up with "Drawing Horses That Look Real." There are step-by-step instructions from muzzle to tail, and my special cartooning secrets are outlined in a fun format that kids can master quickly. The book speaks directly to the reader, and nothing is left to chance. Most of all, the level of drawing is just right for kids, and can be enjoyed by anyone with patience and practice! I hope that many kids who love these fine animals will also love my book.
