My family and I are HUGE Toy Story fans. This book is so cute! The directions for drawing each character are fairly simple, I can't wait to impress my kids with my ability to sketch their favorite characters, A digital copy of this book might be a bit hard, definitely get this one hardbound!

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

Just spent the morning going through this book with my son and it was a hit!

The book is very well laid out and easy to follow

There is a section on how to use the book with the basics of drawing another section with drawing excercises and then each character has there own section with little helpful hints.

Good fun book that is perfect to to give kids something fun to do during the summer holidays.

Great pictures and very engaging. I felt that this was more appropriate for older children. There are steps in how to draw each character, just shows phases. While it does give the process, readers will need to be advanced in their drawing when utilizing this book.

If you’ve ever seen these Walter Foster Jr. Learn to Draw books (or any other short and simple how to draw books), then you probably have an idea of what to expect. The lessons are step by step drawings that use blue lines show your current steps while the black lines show you the whole picture up until that point.

There are some tips here and there where people are likely to get it wrong (ex. Don’t use super straight lines for the nose) , but it replies almost entirely on the step by step images to teach you how to draw these characters. Good for kids and beginner artists.

Projects included:
- Woody
- Buzz Lightyear
- Bullseye
- Rex
- Mr. Potato Head
- Hamm
- Jessie
- The Prospector
- Slinky Dog
- Aliens
- Green Army Men
- Zurg
- Lotso
- Big Baby
- Chunk
- Mr. Pricklepants
- Buttercup
- Bo Peep
- Forky
- Duke Caboom
- Ducky & Bunny
- Gabby Gabby

A fun book full of bright pictures and step by step instructions to draw your favourite characters from the Toy Story franchise, as an adult, I’m not sure there were enough simple steps for my limited drawing skills, however I’m sure children would enjoy trying to follow each step to create their own pictures. Each character had illustrations from the film dotted around the page and a short description of the character, a must for any Toy Story fan.

I love Toy Story! But as it turns out my love of Buzz Lightyear does not translate to being able to draw him.

This is an absolutely lovely book so colorful and appealing that any child will love it but it would also be happily used by adults (like me!). I have only attempted a few of the drawings so far, the Aliens and Forky went well, but I am going to need more practice to master Buzz or Woody.

The instructions are clear, concise and the step by step drawings incredibly useful. Maybe with enough time, I could become a Pixar storyboarder.. well, probably not, but that's not the book's fault!
