I redid every single drawing and it was fun! I can see how i gained confidence as i progressed. Recommend it as a good pass time.

🖍️ Here is a great old turn of the century book that shows how to draw simply. Easy to understand and follow. I remember having a similar book in my grammar school years.

Old-fashioned and charming in its own way but nope, I still can't draw. :)

Great for outline drawing & training beginner eye to see parts of the whole.

libro incompleto

Este libro está incompleto. Es la muestra y cobran por ello. No lo recomiendo para nada. Extraño que #Amazon permita esto.

Even if that book seems to be for children , but I liked it . One Of things I considered it as remarkable is that the book was published in 1913, but it's drawings & illustrations still impressing me very much .

This is really a remarkable book ... indeed it is an ideal gift for children

I downloaded this to amuse a six-year-old boy and he did have a lot of fun with it. But it won't turn anyone into an artist.

So you think it is easy to draw cartoon-level pictures? Maybe, if you follow these step-by-step instructions. This reprint is dated, but the fundamentals it teaches are timless.

Great book but beware Kindle version

Virtually unreadable with junk text, illustrations split into bits. A disgrace that Amazon sells this. They should pay people to get it.

Very dated!

A good beginning. For those of us that can't draw a straight line. Not bad at all. Recommend to beginners
