Jerry Seinfeld once quipped “There’s no such thing as fun for the whole family.” He probably wouldn’t have changed his mind after seeing Ed Emberley’s series of simple step-by-step instructional drawing books, but I happen to think they are fun for the whole family. I’ve owned his books for years, and they are a constant source of enjoyment and inspiration for me and for my daughters. You can apply Emberly’s technique of taking simple shapes and building on them, not only in the step-by-step instructions in his books, but in your own creations as well. The more you study his work, the more you can use it in your own style.
