Learn to Draw (Almost) Anything in 6 Easy Steps
By Rich Davis

Simple but detailed and easy to follow directions on how to create over 100 fun items seen in daily life. By combining more than one together scenes can be created with embellishments, whimsical additions, cartoon flair or illustrative aspects.

I believe this book is one that children, teens, and others would enjoy looking through and perhaps having in their library to refer to from time to time. In some ways the illustrations remind me of doodling I have done in the past.

This is not a book one would buy to create realistic representations of anything even though every drawing is easily identifiable

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I use any of the ideas? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the ARC – This is my honest review.

Learning to Draw (Almost) Anything in Six Easy Steps was a fun and engaging book and it keeps its promise. The animals, buildings and other pictures here are simple and cartoonish (sometimes) and even I, as a non-drawer, could easily create them. At first I wondered whether I was just copying but realized that I was learning about spacing, perspective and not just replicating what was in front of me. This is definitely a beginner’s book and/or a book for children. Its cartoonish quality is appealing for children and adults with little experience. It gave me confidence and I really enjoyed myself.

I received this e-book ARC of Learn to Draw (Almost) Anything in 6 Easy Steps by Rich Davis through Net Galley from the Quarto Group in exchange for a truthful review.
This gem of a guided drawing book sets out to show beginning artists, young and old, how to draw a collection of 100 items (animals, architecture, flowers, people and more) in a simple, cartoon style. And in only 6 easy steps!
The drawings are really cute! And the idea of 6-step Notre Dame and White House drawings made me laugh, bu they turned out pretty good!
There are some additional challenges which require 12 steps and those which combine and extend the individual guided lessons.… (plus d'informations)
