Learn to Draw Disney Furry Friends Collection is a new tutorial guide for artists of all ages from the Walter Foster Jr. creative team. Due out 27th July 2021 from Quarto on their Walter Foster Jr. imprint, it's 64 pages and will be available in paperback format.
There are a bunch of these paperbound magazine format 64 page tutorial series aimed at all-ages, but especially younger artists. They are full of fun, recognizable, skills building tutorials and will keep kids (and adults) engaged for hours. This book includes classics from Bambi, Aristocats, 101 Dalmations, Lady and the Tramp, Pocahontas, Lion King, and several others. There are 18 in all. All of them are accessible by beginners+.
The book contains an abbreviated introduction with an overview over tools and suggested supplies. Basic drawing instructions and information on
tools and materials should be learned elsewhere. What this book does
well are the step-by-step line drawn character tutorials. Each of them
is 3-8 steps long with each subsequent drawing step highlighted in blue
lines.
The typesetting and page layout are upbeat and appealing with a sense of movement and animated feel to them and light vibrant colors which highlight the
simple line drawings so they feel dynamic and attractive.
This is a cute book which would make for a nice gift for a budding
young artist, especially if it were bundled with a roll of drawing paper
and some pencils/markers, etc. It would also make a good choice for adults who spend time with children and will appeal to a wide audience. Many of the characters will be welcome in
drawing sessions with small humans; thus will find use for child
minders, parents, educators, and others who spend time with kids.
Four stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
