 Good book June 5, 2008
I bought this book and the book to draw animals for my son. These books are easy to follow and offer step by step instructions. My son has been enjoying these. He is able to follow the directions and draw the faces.
 Long time Ed Emberley user March 15, 2008
I discovered Ed Emberley in 2nd grade. I had always loved to draw and had some reasonable ability (after all I ended up going to art school and getting an MFA and teaching art in college...). What these books by Ed Emberley have to offer is a way of seeing, of breaking down complicated shapes into simple objects, and being able to put simple shapes and lines together into a complex unit. Which is an important visual skill for anyone.
Through simple and clear step by step instructions, he demonstrates how to create a wide variety of characters and personalities, which gives younger children access to a sense of satisfaction. I recall the real sense of pride having made some of these figures. He also shows (though I do not remember if it is in this, all or only some books of his) how to change up the figures and invent your won, which is very important. Yes, the names are hokey and it has its limits, but showing children success does really help. And to be honest, when my son wanted a pirate ship, MFA aside, I picked up the purple book (another of his books) to the pirates' page.
Childhood memories November 24, 2007
I had this book as a kid and LOVED it. Ed makes drawing so simple any child can understand and follow along. I think every child should have some Ed Emberley books!
Love Ed Emberley's October 28, 2007
My kids are too young for this, but I purchased it because I as a child, had 1 Ed Emberley book and I drew, and drew and drew! I can't wait till they can have as much fun as I did!
I'm not afraid to draw faces now! October 28, 2007
I love to play at drawing and I always had the hardest times with faces and expressions. This book is great and breaks down the process with simple lines and shapes. The subjects range from people to animals.
This would be a great gift for yourself or the artists you know and love!
