This is just for nostalgia's sake. I distinctly remember loving this nonfiction children's book about how to sketch/draw when I was a kid in the '90s. It featured a worm. It was a general drawing book not specifically drawing people or animals and it wasn't about drawing a worm. The worm was the character that taught you how to draw. I can't figure out what to put into google to find this book. I don't remember the title. I think the cover was yellow. Please help me if you can.

Could it be an Ed Emberly book? He had books on how to draw, but I don't remember a worm as the teacher. The book I had was about using regular shapes - squares, rectangles, circles, etc - and putting them together to make animals.
Richard Scarry released heaps of childrens books and though I can't find a direct reference to a drawing book, they would often feature a worm character.Do you recognise him as being the worm you're thinking of maybe?

The worm was green. It might have been a caterpillar. That picture is a different worm.
I remember the same book you're talking about. I'm pretty sure it was a worm. I tried some google searches but couldn't find anything for you. I just thought I would let you know you weren't the only one who remered that book.
was it a herman the worm book i know he was green

Yes, I'm still looking for this book. Bump!
Was it Lowly Worm, from the Richard Scarry books, perhaps? I haven't seen a drawing book, but it's conceivable.
What sorts of things did the worm teach: cartooning, realistic drawing, perspective, etc?Was it part of a series?
Can you explain what you mean by "the worm taught you how to draw?" Would he give instructions with little speech bubbles?
