How to Draw Almost Everything Volume 2: An Illustrated Sourcebook

I love this book so much that I already ordered a copy along with some of the recommended pens. How to Draw Everything is a fun-filled, extremely appealing and inspiring book. If that’s not enough, it will actually teach you how to draw and provide you with tons of ideas. In fact, you will never be able to say “I don’t know what to draw” if you have this book in your possession! The book is very cute with all sorts of little colored drawings throughout and is very consistent in showing the required steps. The emphasis is on basic shapes, which begin nearly every drawing. Some of the drawings are just adorable like a deer in a dress, a giraffe with a scarf and a dog with an umbrella! How to Draw Everything benefits from having six authors that are illustrators and have formal education. After a brief review of pens, lines, color, basic shapes, and perspective plus some warm-up exercises, it’s time to start drawing. The book is divided into 5 sections - (1) Animals, (2) People, (3) Everyday Objects, (4) Patterns & Borders, and (5) Holidays & Seasonal. Each section is further divided into lessons ranging in number from 3 to 14. Also, there are a few special lessons in each section, many of which show you how to make your drawings unique. Between the lessons and special lessons, there is a grand total of 47, which should keep you busy for awhile. The Animals and Everyday Objects are the largest sections with each including the most things to draw and the majority of lessons. Animals includes some unusual ones like an otter, chameleon, alpaca, woodpecker, and mysterious creatures. Everyday Objects include food, vehicles, flowers and household objects like scissors and a piano. The Holiday and Seasonal section would be perfect for making cards and drawing messages. The book closes with an inspiration gallery. I highly recommend this book if you want to learn how to draw “almost everything” and have fun doing it!

A great drawing book that will show you how to draw almost everything in simple easy steps. The book is also broken down into sections that give easy to follow lessons with warm-ups and special lessons to extend the fun. I purchased this book for my classroom to give students the extra boost they need sometimes. The book is so fun that I am going to go and buy a new sketch book and work my way through the book. Even adults can have drawing fun.

I used and enjoyed the illustrator sorcebook "How to Draw Almost Every Day" and I am now enjoying this book. The Illustrations are easy to follow. They are great for someone who does not want to have to buy stickers for their planner. Between both books - I feel comfortable drawing just about anything.

Easy to follow instruction.

A fun starter guide to basic doodles perfect for beginners! I found the designs to be kid-friendly and they covered so much more than basic flowers and animals. While the instructions were fairly simple to follow, occasionally one or two steps would be loaded with details and difficult. I liked the expansion into borders, frames, and text at the end, encouraging imagination and creative applications beyond the book. Although great for adults and teens, my elementary-aged children found it challenging without assistance. Overall, this would make a great addition for anyone parenting or working with kids. * I received an ARC copy from NetGalley, all opinions expressed are my own.

How fun..... A drawing guide that teaches all kinds of sketch drawing to make cute creatures, people, and objects! This doesn't teach a lot of heavy skills like perspective, but it is perfect for someone who wants to illustrate fun papers, books, or just make fun art! It would be ideal for the beginning artist or older children, as well. The nice thing is that you can learn to draw everything very QUICKLY. It's really a "pick up the book and copy it" type of guide, and you will have immediate success if that's what you are looking for. I especially liked the beginning pages that explain types of inks for different pens, and the great pen buying guide!! I received an ARC as a reviewer for NetGalley.

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for an ARC. All opinions are my own. This is an incredibly simple and effective guide to drawing. I love the suggestions of pen uses. It is important for readers to know what recommended pens are needed to achieve maximum results. I really like the idea of sharing how slight variations can have an impact on drawing. The use of shapes to build animals and people is very helpful. I teach art to my third grade students and find that this would be incredibly helpful and build on students skills.

I order three of these books series, and 2 of them were clearly used. If I had ordered and paid for used books, that wouldn't be an issue. However, when you order and pay for a NEW book, it is a great disappointment to receive a book that is worn and with pencil marks. The book itself is great. Not sure I would recommend it though, unless you don't mind buying a new book and ending up with a used one.

Very satisfied 😃. Thank you 🙏.

It gives you lots of ideas how to learn to draw almost everything, animals, people and things.
