I was received Draw Like an Artist: 100 Fantasy Creatures and Characters: Step-by-Step Realistic Line Drawing – A Sourcebook for Aspiring Artists and Designer in exchange for a spot in our Christmas Gift Guide for Homeschooling.
Charlie’s favorite class in school is Art including Homeschooling. At Christmas for Charlie I like to get Art Supplies for Charlie and also Charlie’s Birthday because these are Gifts Charlie can use throughout the year.
For Charlie I plan on giving Charlie Draw Like an Artist: 100 Fantasy Creatures and Characters: Step-by-Step Realistic Line Drawing – A Sourcebook for Aspiring Artists and Designers. I can’t wait for Charlie to look at all the animals included in the book.
We can research the creatures for our History class using the book for reading and Art. I believe having this new book will help Charlie get back into drawing which he has been shying away from.
