Publisher's Synopsis
This utterly encouraging book is a masterclass in how to draw for kids and grownups with Sir Quentin Blake, beloved illustrator to Roald Dahl.
Can you find the pointy end of a pencil? Then you can draw! Start with a Scribble will banish your inner critic and kick-start your inner genius, as you learn to capture the spirit of things with a little how-to and a lot of just-do. An artist-quality pen and two watercolor pencils (red and black) are included. Inside, you'll find:
- Prompts to inspire you (e.g., "emotional rabbits")
- Doodles to finish ("Mrs. Thudkins takes her floppaterasis for a walk")
- Techniques to try (only when the mood strikes you), from shading to perspective
- And plenty of wide-open space to play around in.
Publisher's note:Start with a Scribble is an updated North American edition of Drawing for the Artistically Undiscovered (Klutz, 1999).
