DRAWING INSPIRATION If you have a newer version of a Mac, the disk may not work or may shut down your computer. If you want inspiration for drawing then you may or may not find something you like. I would consider this mediocre but it might depend on your needs. I needed more variety and the illustrations were slopp…
1,000 ideas! This book is a treasure trove full of ideas and inspiration. Although the title says its a book of Music graphics, the ideas spawned from this book cross over into different genres. The color combinations, the typography, the different styles … I'll be constantly referring to this book for year…

A MUST HAVE for would-be writers. Great reference material. I only regret this information is being shared with all of the other aspiring authors in the world. We have enough competition as it is. Now, thanks to Edelstein, authors can get their toes inside the appropriate doors. It is not enough to commit thoughts to paper, one must know where to send…
Excellent primer for young artists! Using an easy to read format for both kids and their teacher or parent, 1-2-3 Draw is a wonderful resource for budding young artists ages 6-10. Throughout the book, the author uses practical tips to teach techniques (sketch lightly, store work in order to save it for later), getting organized (a…
easy, educational, and fun The 1-2-3 Draw books are so much fun! I am 35 and still draw the same as when I was in grade school. My kids ages 9 and 7 are always are asking me to help them draw something but they draw better than me so I am no help at all! Now that we have these books, we all are learning the little trick…
great series! These are such a great series. I love how simple they are at teaching how to draw things. I plan on buying the whole series. Its a great time to spend with my kids. We (me and my older ones) draw pictures and my toddlers color them. Its a lot of family fun!
good book I bought it for my two year old. and Now I am drawing all those fun things myself for fun, and my daughter keeps asking me to draw more for her.
A bit too simple I wanted to experiment with cartooning so I picked up one of Steve Barr's books. It was very simple. In fact, too simple. I can't draw anything really but this book was only slightly helpful. I started with his fun objects books. Well, making a hot dog and adding a face is pretty basic stuff. Or …
Excellent cartoon dragons This book makes it easy to draw excellent cartoon dragons. Though distinctly cartoonish, they are 'realistic' enough to be adapted for more serious looks.
One of the best things about this book is the clear instructions. What you are doing, as well as why you are doing it, is explained. T…

Good writing … poor results This is the second book I have of Mr. Meads and found it, like the first one (100 tips), pleasant and encouraging to read. However, what I found disappointing is this: he mentions that it will take about 4 to 6 months to cover all the exercise charts. I'm coming up on 2 years and no where near…
Almost as good as a trip to actual museums This book is a delight! The author makes no claims on being an art expert, but he is knowledgeable enough to make each entry fascinating. I dream of one day travelling to London with this book in hand to see my favorite pieces. I have discovered several artists new to me through this book. I …
An Excellent Book While taking a photography course at my school, I stumbled across this book in the bookstore. The idea of taking a series of photos of 100 boots and then mailing them as postcards appealed to me immensely, even though i was not alive at the time of of the postcards. Not only do the 100 boots …
