My 7 yr old is a bit of a perfectionist and easily gets frustrated with his drawing abilities. But he really likes this book. It's fun for him because it's monsters and such and it shows "how-to" really well.

I work with kids so these books are great! My grandmother gave me a whole set of them when I was little and I absolutley loved it! The "how to draw" directions are so easy to follow. Great for almost any age!

I teach art to many levels and the students already love the Big Purple Book and The Big Orange Book. This will quickly become their favorite!
I taught myself to draw with Ed Emberley!

Ed Emberley is amazing. This book is great for Halloween or those times when you want to draw a monster or two. I taught myself how to use Illustrator and Ed's books are a great resource because of the way he simplifies each drawing. Don't fear, this book can be used just as well with pencils, crayons or markers.
Easiest books to use to learn to draw
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Ed Emberly has made some wonderful books for kids and grown-ups of any age that have no drawing skills, but want to learn a simple way. His books are the easiest books to get you started if you have no previous drawing skills. He starts with a step by step illustrated lesson to draw one simple item. First a simple straight line here, then insert a circle then, then another line, step by step along the way and before you know it you have a completed drawing that you can be really proud of. I teach Cub Socuts and this artist makes the perfect book for teaching a class when you are a volunteer yourself that is not an art pro. In this one, he teaches us to make monsters of all sorts like a witch, wolfman, Frankenstein, vampire, Also see his book, "Make a World", and "The Big Green Drawing Book". If you want more Halloween related drawings including cats, jack o'lanterns, and a full haunted house, try Ed Emberley's "Big Orange Drawing Book".
