Just start with a scribble! Start with a Scribble will banish your inner critic and kick-start your inner genius, as you learn to draw with a little how-to and a lot of just-do. An artist-quality pen and watercolor pencils (red and black) are included. Inside, you’ll find: Prompts to inspire you (e.g., “emotional rabbits”) Doodles to finish (“Mrs. Thudkins takes her floppaterasis for a walk”) Techniques to try (only when the mood strikes you), from shading to perspective And plenty of wide-open space to play around in. We’re much less interested in the appearance of something than in the something itself. So, when you’ve settled on your subject (a monster? a cockatoo?), first figure out what its essence should be (ferocious? bashful?) . . . and then, just toss that ball up (artistically speaking) and give it a good swat across the net. Voilà! You’re an artist. Throughout, beloved illustrator Sir Quentin Blake shares sage advice, from “it’s best to name your animal after you draw it” to “don’t worry too much yet about ankles.” The most important lesson? Let go and give in to your own creative spirit! Publisher's note: Start with a Scribble is an updated North American edition of Drawing for the Artistically Undiscovered (Klutz, 1999).

Call it a "sketch book with handrails", this textbook is designed to draw out talent in every artist-to-be, featuring drawings by Quentin Blake, the illustrator who brought to life Matilda and Willie Wonka. Wire-O bound. 2 colors. Packaged with 1 pen and 2 pencils.

"Scribble, the book's main character, never thought he was different until he met his first drawing. Then, after being left out because he didn't look like everyone else, Scribble teaches the drawings how to accept each other for who they are which enables them to create amazing art together!"--Provided by publisher.

This is no ordinary coloring book! With playful drawings, funny scenarios and fun-to-follow instructions, this book is not just for coloring, but for doodling, drawing, imagining and thinking!

Meet Scribbles, the cat, and Ink, the mouse, two artist pals with very different styles. While there should be plenty of room on the canvas for each of them to make their art without getting in each other's way, or on each other's nerves, they can't manage that! Scribbles and Ink go on a camping trip in this latest installment of the popular Jump-Into-Chapters series. Follow along as the duo use their creative skills to pitch a tent, catch fireflies, go fishing, cook by campfire, and tell ghost stories-all while engaging in their trademark artistic shenanigans! A kid-friendly recipe for s'mores ends the book.
