Volume one in a series of Drawing School books by artist Nila Aye (published by Walter Foster Jr, no author listed). Separated into sections “At the beach,” “Under the sea,” “On the farm,” and “At school,” Aye includes two or three objects per double-page spread and walks her reader through 4-6 steps per illustration. The illustrations are bright and pretty easy to follow for those with confidence to fill in some gaps of instruction. It would be nice to include a female farmer or sailor and a male teacher and no child is probably burning to draw a string bikini, but other than those small bugaboos, this book (and the rest in the series) is well-bound, bright, and will have great appeal to those looking for beginning drawing books.
