This colorful drawing kit includes 4 fine-line markers, 4 Uglydoll pencil-top erasers, 3 colored pencils, drawing pencil, sharpener, and a drawing pad. And the 32-page project book teaches artists of all ages and skill levels to draw the "ugliest" characters around, from Jeero and Wagehead to Ice-Bat and UglyDog.
How To Draw Uglydoll by David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim is a very funny book with great inspiration for young artists. Uglydolls are visually appealing for kids (and the kids inside all of us) and the text is appropriate for both kids and adults. Like a less commercial Simpson’s or updated Bugs Bunny, the comedy works on two levels.
This isn’t the usual type of book I review but I’m passionate about kids and art. I bought my daughter two Uglydolls when she was a baby and I look forward to giving this book to her in a few years.
What I really enjoy about How to Draw Uglydoll is that it’s not really a how-to-draw book. Sure, there are step-by-step instructions to drawing your favorite Uglydoll, but it’s made clear that you can (and should) draw any dang way you please!
