Dinosaur loving kids are going to love this one. Like the other books in this series, this is a good basic drawing book -- short, easy to follow and affordable (under $10). There are 10 tutorials and they're the style of draw a circle and then a line here and then add this bit and erase this bit and so on. The first four pages of each book have the same content recommending simple supplies like a number two pencil and give basic instructions on drawing the shapes, shading, adding detail, etc. There are ten tutorials of common favorite dinos like T Rex and Velociraptor. This obviously is not going to be a thorough how-to of every dinosaur you want to draw but it's a good start for kids and adults alike.
I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

Let's Draw Dinosaurs is a fun collection of drawing tutorials by How2DrawAnimals. Due out 16th Aug 2022 from Quarto on their Walter Foster Jr. imprint, it's 48 pages and will be available in paperback format.
For all the readers who grew up with the spin racks of technique booklets from Foster at their local stationery/art store, the format in this new series of books will be comfortingly familiar. The books begin with very basic overviews over tools and supplies and pencil techniques for light and shadow, shading, texture, and form.
There are 10 tutorials included in the book for a varied selection of dinosaurs (including a couple of new-to-me) such as a stegosaurus, triceratops, pteranodon, t-rex, and velociraptor (and 5 more). Tutorials are easy to follow and show step by step refinements with new lines and shading included. The tutorials cover two pages each with 10 steps from simple shapes to finished, shaded drawing.
This would make a great gift for would-be artists of all ages. The included tutorials are varied and eclectic. There is a complete table of contents, so locating individual ones shouldn't be problematic. They're slanted toward line drawings, though colored pens, crayons, and watercolors could certainly be used to enhance the drawings.
Nice booklet, accessible for everyone.
Five stars. This would be a nice choice, bundled with some drawing supples, for a young artist. It would also do well for school or public library acquisition, home library, and even for adults/childminders/caregivers/teachers who want to up their "draw with me" game with their young charges.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

My daughter and I read this book together and we enjoyed it. The book is really great, as it goes into detail about different art tips and techniques, art tools required and how to draw different dinosaurs, a few examples being Iguanodon, Pteranodon and Stegosaurus
My daughter's favourite dinosaur was the Iguanodon, although to be honest, she was a bit scared of some of the dinosaurs.
I highly recommend this book to all budding artists and also experienced artists, as whatever your skills, you will still learn something from this interesting and useful art book.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

My daughter loves the Let’s Draw Books and this one didn’t disappoint. Learn to draw 10 different dinosaurs, including favorites like T-Rex and Brachiosaurus. With easy to follow directions and information on the tools you’ll need, this is the perfect book for kids or adults who are wanting to improve their drawing skills and learn to draw dinosaurs.

With thanks to the author, publishers Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster, and NetGalley for providing me with a digital ARC of this work in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
This book does a great job of explaining how drawings of even the most complex of dinosaurs start with a combination of basic shapes that budding artists of all ages will be familiar with, before going on to explain how to add details such as scales and teeth, and how to shade to further make your drawings pop. As an adult whose drawing skills are on a par with a 4-year old, even I found that explanations of how the drawings are meant to evolve made sense, and would certainly give me the confidence to tackle them.
