    I bought this book for my son who is 8 years old and I've got to say it kept both of us quiet for a while. I'm terrible at drawing myself so probably need something aimed more at children! I was quite impressed with my little drawings and my son's weren't half bad too. He has actually found it useful when doing homework projects such as fact posters as it does show you how to draw pretty much anything you may need even a toilet.

    This source book is ok if you want to draw in a childlike fashion but if you are looking for something a bit more adult you will be disappointed. Almost everything is included however, even a toilet, so the book lives up to its name. Might be good for a pre-teen child who is keen to draw.

    Reviewed in the United States on 16 August 2022

    This is a really nice book full of fun doodles that are easy and fun to replicate. I feel an embarrassing amount of pride for each doodle I finish and walk around the house showing everyone my work, like a little kid.

    For beginning artists, you may not have the range of pens and markers she recommends, but it ultimately doesn’t matter. Just use the book w the tools you have and decide if you love drawing enough to invest in more pens, etc. I found that I like the ink line art the most so far, but I’m just getting started.
