Note from author:
My goal for this book was to provide your kid with frustration-free instructions so they can draw quickly and confidently, without giving up! The steps in this book are broken down into basic, easy-to-learn “C” and “S” shapes that make it simple for them to follow along. A good tip for artists of all ages is to draw your lines lightly in pencil first—that way it’s easier to erase if you make a mistake or need to remove something. With just a few basic tips, your kid will be drawing with confidence and proud of their creations!
