Book Nook: Draw Every Little Thing - Learn to draw more than 100 everyday items, from food to fashion

My daughter loves to draw, but she gets stuck on drawing the same things all the time. That's not inherently bad, but it's good for her to stretch her wings a little bit, so I enjoyed the chance to review Draw Every Little Thing: Learn to draw more than 100 everyday items, from food to fashion, Walter Foster. 

This book was great! It has instructions for a wide variety of objects that are suitable for beginners, but it's also good for people looking to change up what they're drawing, add new elements to drawings, or get over a creative block.

The book encourages artists to draw inspiration from everyday things, organized into sections based on where objects are typically found (town, outside, home, everyday life). It's a great way to begin to learn to draw, or to find inspiration in unexpected places.

Flora Waycott is an illustrator and artist in Perth, Australia. Her art has appeared on book covers, including The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook (Race Point); children's bedding and decor; stationery; greeting cards; and within books. She co-authored Creative Folk Art and Beyond and is the author and illustrator behind Draw Every Little Thing, both from Walter Foster Publishing. Flora is inspired by Japan, where she lived as a child, as well as everyday objects. Learn more at www.florawaycott.com.
