"Just for Fun: Drawing" is an art book to help beginners learn how to draw. It combined text describing what to do and why you do it with simple, step-by-step drawings. This allows the person to learn how to draw cats in general, for example, not just the pose shown in the book.

I'd recommend this as a good beginner artist book for tweens and teens (or older). It's done in a style that should keep a younger person interested, but it also taught some basics found in adult drawing books. So we learn how to draw basic shapes--in perspective--and how to add simple texture and shading.

The book began by describing what drawing tools to use, and you can start out with as little as a common pencil and a sheet of computer paper. Other tools were described, but you don't have to start fancy. We then get the step-by-step "add a circle here and here, combine the shapes, add some texture" instructions. These usually involved four steps that were easy to understand and weren't complex to draw.

We're taught to draw animals like cats, big cats, dogs, wolves, rabbits, horses, cow, and birds. There were brief descriptions on how to draw people standing and in motion, the parts of the body, and clothing. And we learn to draw nature in part (like a tree, flower, or water) or as a whole landscape drawing. The finished drawings should look recognizable without being complex to draw.

This is an excellent little book. The step by step instructions are detailed enough to get beginners drawing something they can be proud of right away. But the author also includes lessons on transferrable techniques and basic drawing skills so you get the best of both worlds. There are lots of illustrations, and lots of great things to draw. This is an excellent book for any beginner, Thank you

This is an incredible drawing book for beginners like me. I just ordered this book! It has so many step-by-step projects for so many wild animals, domestic animals, body parts, and flowers/trees. With just starting with simple shapes, from there instructions lead to a complete drawing. This is a beginner's book. This is a great starter book to get someone going and show them they can do it and really make art! LOVE it! Thanks NetGalley,Quarto and Walter Foster Publishing for letting me read this great book!

3'5 stars

Here we have a very nice book that helps you to practice with different shapes and styles. It presents a small guide at the beginning with different materials we can use for drawing (pens, pencils, indian ink, etc), and then we go over to drawing.
We have a section which includes different animals, such as cats, felines, dogs, horses... Then we have a section about humans and clothing, facial expressions; and then we move to nature and forces of nature such as forests, water, etc. And we even have a bit on perspectives and POW.
It's a very complete book that covers a lot of ground in an easy direct way, ideal for beginners or people who want to practice a bit (or a lot haha).
