Lydia Crook is our new champion and in "I Can't Draw" she aims to show you the unrivalled pleasure of what it feels like when you begin to learn a new skill.
With a set of simple exercises, and a gentle encouragement to draw directly in the book yourself, these 60 easy-to-tackle lessons are absolutely perfect if you're suffering from cabin fever and don't quite know what to do with your little ones during the long easter hols (and potentially even longer home-schooling new life we're all adopting to).
For both my daughter and I, daily drawing is something that already happens but it's been fun working through this book too, to take on challenges outside our comfort zone and explore new ways of using art materials and making marks.
Let's take a wee peek inside, shall we then?
Drawing with dots, more dotty fun than you can imagine! |
Time to unleash your imagination and skill up!
Sum this book up in a sentence: A life saver for bored kids, or even parents who want to try brushing up their drawing skills in a fab little set of 60 exercises that are tons of fun to do.
"I Can't Draw" by Lydia Crook is out now, published by Ivy Press (kindly supplied for review).
