  This is a complete practical introduction to drawing and painting for young people. The book begins by introducing children to good basic practice, such as organizing a work space, and looking after pencils and paintbrushes. It then goes on to describe techniques like measuring, the principles of composition, and different materials. The child then delves into the practical, fun-to-do projects - how to draw cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, bodies and faces. The text also examines shadows, people and pets in their surroundings, copying from magazines and photos, and much more.
