Gr 4 Up—Students who are serious about improving their art skills will find a lot of methods and techniques to learn and practice in these subject-focused drawing books. Good demonstrations of single-point, two-point, and three-point perspective and light source—not only for the hard-edged objects, such as tanks and warplanes, but in the animal books, too. Dogs, Cats, and Horses demonstrate how to draw each creature from life, a photo, and basic shapes, which is par for the course in drawing books for this age group. Going one step further, each of these titles shows how to build drawings of animals up from the underlying musculature, which is unusual for works aimed at readers of this age. Tanks and Warplanes offer tips on where to find drawing subjects—museums, airfields, and drawing from models.
VERDICT Hardcover competition for Lee Ames's "Draw 50" series.
