Description

Learn to draw 17 of your favorite dogs and puppies using a variety of easy-to-follow methods with the Dogs & Puppies Drawing & Activity Book.

With this interactive drawing book, discover just how easy it is to draw 17 different dogs and puppies of all shapes, sizes, and colors—including a Parson Russell Terrier, Siberian Husky, and a Pug puppy. From the small and sassy to the big and burly, there's a breed for everyone.

The 64-page, spiral-boundDogs & Puppies Drawing & Activity Book teaches how to draw with three methods: tracing, grid-drawing, and basic shapes. Five tracing pages are included so you can trace. Using the grid method, just copy the lines and shapes into the corresponding square on your blank practice grid. And you will also learn the same step-by-step method used by professional artists: the basic shapes method. To draw like the pros do, just follow the illustrations that show how each step builds upon the last to create a finished piece of artwork. Look closely at the new lines in each step and draw the dog or puppy on the practice page provided after each basic shapes project. Find the technique that works the best for you, and draw your favorite dogs and puppies over and over again!

The perfect drawing book for dog lovers. The instructions are very clear, and step by step so great for children or beginners learning to draw. The pleasure of getting quick recognisable results is encouraging. The activities are aimed at children and so is the book but I think an adult learning to draw would also love it. The dog breeds are clearly defined and are life like enough to be educational. Overall a brilliant little book that would be perfect on any rainy day afternoon

This has been a great book for my child who loves dogs and drawing. There are many dogs breeds, including our type of dog! Each dog has one of three types of ways to draw. They are grid, tracing, or basic shapes drawing. This is great for quarantine!

Dogs & Puppies Drawing & Activity Book
Learn to draw 17 different dog breeds
by Walter Foster Jr. Creative Team

This would be a fun gift to give for a child’s birthday or just before taking a trip. I can see this keeping children busy on planes, trains or in cars for hours. Parents or grandparents might want to help out or even borrow the book to sketch themselves. Add to the book some colored pencils, crayons or paints along with extra paper and it is a gift that will be remembered for a lifetime.

Loved the trivia and have to admit I had trouble with one of the puzzles...oh my!

Did I like this book? Yes
Would I buy it for a child as a gift? Definitely

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Water Foster Jr. for the ARC – This is my honest review.

The tutorials are well layed out and easy to follow. This book is not only perfect for beginners and dog lovers but I feel adults and children would love it as well. As I said above this book has a universal appeal for all ages. If you love dogs you will love this book!

This is truly a fun and inspirational book and as a dog lover I am in heaven! I would absolutely buy this book as a gift and I highly recommend it.

I received this book from NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Water Foster Jr. for an honest review.

Cute book! I've been wanting to draw my dogs (a German Shepherd and a Husky) and i was so happy that this book has both of them! The steps are easy to follow and very clear. It's great for beginners and dog lovers not just for kids. There are some activities like word search and maze that the kids would enjoy. I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This book contains three different styles so that no matter which way a child is most comfortable (tracing, grid, step-by-step) there is an option for several breeds that they can work on. There are also other fun filled projects (mazes, etc) for the young dog lover in your life to enjoy. Overall, my only "improvement" would be if they offered more than one of the three drawing styles for a breed, so that a child could see how to transition between the two as their skill levels improve.

I found this to be an adorable book.  Even if you don't want to draw, just looking through this title will make you smile.  Some of the many dogs included are the Old English Sheepdog, the English Springer Spaniel (my dog growing up!), the Golden Retriever Puppy. The Pembroke Welsh Cori and the Dalmatian.  Each breed gets a fun fact on their page. There are also activities like the Dinner Time Maze, and the Pup Poop activity, among others.  And, of course, there are instructions on everything from the tools and materials needed, to the how to steps.  The book even includes tracing paper and sketch pages.


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.  This would be a nice book to bet for a young art loving dog admiring child that you know.

This was a cute and useful guide to drawing some dog breeds. It included little activities like word searches so it would be a great gift for a child who loves dogs and is wanting to learn how to draw them. This book is equally good for any adults who would like to draw dogs but have no idea where to start!

This book broke down drawing dogs into simple shapes. I found there to be many helpful drawing exercises to improve my skills. I enjoyed the “fun facts” throughout the book. There were a lot of good tips on features of different dog breeds to help you with your own drawings.

I think kids might enjoy the word search, mazes, and other activities in the book. I wasn’t expecting it.

I received this galley from NetGalley.

This is a helpful and fun little book! I used to read and doodle sometimes but always without any structure. The steps and examples given in the volume can greatly help the beginner to grasp the basics of drawing and to understand how a more complex form can be created by putting simple geometrical forms beside each other.

I would recommend this book for kids and adults alike. The latter can learn how to draw cute dogs either for their own amusement or for the children around them.

It is art and craft activity book for kids. Dogs form important part of books and graphic novels. It teaches in simple steps, how to draw 17 different fog breeds. All picture are colored and simplified. It makes drawing fun.
A very good book to learn this difficult character of story books.
Thanks netgalley and publisher for review copy.
