Start With A Scribble: Drawing For The Artistically Undiscovered

Want to be an artist?

Here’’s the secret . . . you already are one! You may still need help finding the pointy end of the pencil-but you’’re the only person qualified to express your unique you-ness.

In Start with a Scribble, you’’ll find a little how-to and a lot of just-do. It’’s a sketchbook with training wheels! Beloved artist Quentin Blake and irrepressible free spirit John Cassidy have packed this book with a balance of instruction and encouragement to jump-start your inner artist-from: “It’’s best to name your animal after you draw it,” to: “Don’’t worry too much yet about ankles."

There’’s plenty of open space for you to play in, but around the edges you’’ll find handrails of help-and just a touch of technique. The most important lesson? Let go and give in to your creative spirit!
