Overview


Anyone familiar with Freddie Levin's previous titles will recognize her warm and inviting colored pencil drawing style in 1-2-3 Draw Ocean Life."

Synopsis

Whimsical, appealing drawings spring like magic from the page as young artists learn how to make charming creations from simple shapes. Each step is carefully shown and finished in full color. Fun examples and instructions all but guarantee success for budding cartoonists!

Starting with simple shapes and the most basic materials, these books show young artists the essential skills involved in combining shapes to make characters and objects, simplifying and coloring them.

Anyone familiar with Freddie Levin's previous titles will recognize her warm and inviting colored pencil drawing style in 1-2-3 Draw Ocean Life. After introducing basic shapes and fish vocabulary, she includes whales and dolphins, sea turtle, squid and octopus, crab and shrimp, starfish, sea cucumber and jellyfish, and much more.

In addition to their subject-matter appeal, the simplicity of many of the colorful drawings makes success easy for younger, less experienced artists, while at the same time the more challenging subjects (an eel and a shark twisting away from the viewer), subtle colors and shading will engage those with more finely-honed skills.
