Dinosaurs, dragons & prehistoric creatures
Janessa Osle
- Reading
- Try a lesson together, pausing at each drawing stage so your child can compare their picture with the instructions. Keep the focus on experimenting with shapes, rather than matching the example exactly.
- Themes
- Learning to draw creatures: The book introduces drawing tools and materials, then guides young artists through pictures of prehistoric animals and fantasy creatures. The guide presents drawing as a skill that can be approached through basic shapes and successive steps.
- Worth knowing
- The guide is described as leading towards coloured finished pictures. If your child prefers to draw without a model, consider whether following staged instructions will appeal to them.
