As an adult, I purchased this book for myself. Yes, I know that it was intended for a "children's audience", but it also happens to be one of the *best* drawing books that I have ever come across!! In the past, I've purchased a variety of other drawing books, but my experience with such books really has been quite frustrating, as most of them are usually written by artists who are clueless how to teach... However, this is NOT the case with Mark Kistler's book! Mark not only knows how to teach well, but he also vividly understands how to make drawing fun, educational and best of all -- a true delight. For the first time, I find myself coming home and during my spare time, wanting to pull out a new sheet of paper and let my imagination go wild... In other words, have fun drawing all kinds of cool stuff! If you truly want a fun experience that will teach you to draw well, this is a must buy. I have been absolutely amazed, along with my family and friends, what I could draw. For the first time, I can make artwork that I'm proud to show others... and that's a great feeling! Take my advice -- BUY THIS BOOK!!! (I'm so glad that I did.) P.S. - This is the workbook. Make sure you get the regular book that this workbook was designed to go along with. :-)
Great way to challenge child's mind!

I think Marks books are wonderful, hands down! My daughter did the Draw Squad book when she was 10 and now she's 14 and draws like a pro. She gets better every day, thanks to these books!
