Figure Drawing for Kids: A Step-By-Step Guide to Drawing People (Drawing Books for Kids Ages 9 to 12)

My kid loves to draw and was having done issues with the human body so I figured this would be the perfect book to help, and it did!

I wish they had books like this when I was a kid! I've been to school for art and animation and am confident the method she uses in this book, as well as the portrait book, are solid and will help kids level up their drawing skills. She goes in depth, but not over the heads of kids, with anatomy, proportions, life drawing, blocking in a subject, perspective, etc. I'm so excited to gift these books to my daughter this Christmas.

I love this book !!! Its perfect for children and any age group that's a beginner artist wanting to improve the way they draw. I know one book can't give you everything you need BUT this book can seriously give you an advantage at saving your money on anatomy books that are boring and puts it in a simple way :D yet helpful because the artist is a professional and its obvious!!! There is principales of movement in even the most "simple" shapes the artist uses to teach us. This book reminds you that there is people/artists out there that want you to learn and don't put the money first but the techniques and love for art first. I cannot say everything the book has but if you're an adult this may just simplify and give you the confidence you need to learn a better way to make art look alive than any lengthy and boring adult book.

My son loved to draw and he really has stepped his game up in drawing comic book heroes. I would recommend this as a birthday or Christmas gift for a kid who likes to draw.

I bought this book as a gift for my nephew (age 15). I glanced thru it when it arrived and I must say it seems fairly advanced for the recommended ages of 9-12! I have passed it on to him and hope he'll find it fun. I did tell him I thought it was fairly tough. But he is very smart and an honors student at his high school, so he may find it too easy and put my concerns to rest! I'm thinking I'll get a copy for myself and see if I can do what is asked because I was never very good at drawing and sketching. Onward and upward I go!

bought for my daughter, she enjoyed it

Perfect description and great gift for the artist of all ages in your life!

3.5 stars. Throughout the book there is hardly any representation of anyone not white... this is especially evident in the portrait (adding a face) section where there are no black people at all.

For arts, you have to teach them like a kid and this book nails that

Es un libro muy útil para dibujar la figura humana. No creo que sea para niños sin experiencia en dibujo. Vale perfectamente para adultos que se inician en el dibujo y es muy útil para dibujar la figura en movimiento. Trae algunos dibujos con el correspondiente modelo en fotografía y los tutoriales son buenos. Lo recomiendo.

Bought this for my 7-year-old daughter that loves drawing/sketching. She loves it and uses it daily. I can really see her improving her skills and easily follow the instructions in the book even though our mother tongue is not English.

Plenty of examples to copy to slowly improve pencil work for drawing figures. As with all skills, need to practice.

My daughter was able to follow the step-by-step instructions and was able to recreate the drawings on the page
