How to Draw Almost Every Day: An Illustrated Sourcebook

For the non-drawer this book is a gift. It won’t turn you into a great artist, but it will give you the confidence to doodle ably. I use these little doodles in my journal and it’s great to be able a little hand-drawn dash of colour to the pages. Some reviews have said the drawings are childish - that’s unkind. They are illustrative doodles - child-like in their simplicity - but wonderful fun. People can be so snobby about ‘art’ but if this book gets you drawing regularly it’s served it’s purpose. I for one loved it, and recommend it to anyone struggling to draw or illustrate.

I like the simplicity of the drawings - I'm a 35 yr old and am enjoying making little doodles in my journal, I'm not intending to get skills like Vermeer, so for my own personal enjoyment and mini creative yearnings, this book is great!I'd eventually like to try out other books by the same illustrator.

Whilst I can draw I have always struggled with anything illustrative in even it's basic form. Whilst I'm yet to master anything it's been fun to trying to recreate the daily draw, and I like the way the cat character appears through the book and you can see how just moving the eye placement changes the expression.Does it teach you still life drawing... No. But for someone wanting to go beyond a doodle, inspire a child to draw or like me find a way to get some ideas down it's a great starting point.

This book has lots lovely little doodles to practice, and I thought it would be a big hit. Unfortunately, my 9 year old finds it frustrating trying to find anything easily as it's random pictures for every day of the year, is only interested in about a quarter of the pictures, and as the book is quite thick, keeping it open is also an issue.She would definitely have preferred something else!!

This is a lovely little book! I wanted examples of simple pictures I could learn to draw and its laid out so that there is a different picture for each day of the year, cute little pictures too and looks easy to follow. Just what I was looking for. Thank you.
