lulalu Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 What are your favorite books or youtube for learning how to draw? Ds is 7 and has always had horrible penmenship. DH was dysgraphic and I think ds is too. He is a perfectionist but wants to draw so much. He does great with watercolor painting, but drawing is difficult.

knitgrl Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Writing is very hard work for ds6. We sometimes do Ed Emberly faces together. I loved all the Ed Emberly books when I was that age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 We loved the You Can Draw section of Nature Friend Magazine. https://www.naturefriendmagazine.com/index.pl?linkid=4;class=gen In each issue a lesson is taught and there is a contest where you can submit the drawings. In a following month some of the drawings are published. We did this for years and they actually became quite proficient. The bonus is they publish other things done by kids too. Photography, poetry, stories........great magazine for a Christian homeschool family. This lesson was great. First time Dd got published. Dh scanned her drawing and so many of her friends and family had copies. https://www.naturefriendmagazine.com/useruploads/files/Jan2007page15.pdf I just realized that you live overseas. I am going to go ahead and post this for others because I already spent time on the links. We actually continued Nature Friend contests after we moved to England because my mom loved them! She subscribed and sent my kids copies of that month’s contests. We scanned the entries. Still won occasionally......she sent results too.😉. So it can work. Draw Write Now curriculum was also great. https://www.rainbowresource.com/category/2014/Draw-Write-Now.html We used these all the time in unit studies. My kids did the drawings on blank cards for birthday card etc. great stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachaelL Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Homeschoolbuyersco-op.com used to have a great online drawing program. I haven’t been on there much recently, so I don’t know if it’s still available, but it’s worth looking around the website to see what they offer. My kids loved that program!

ElizabethB Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 The bug book is a great start, we own many of his books, they are really good. https://www.amazon.com/Ralph-Masiellos-Drawing-Book-Books/dp/1570915261/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=bug+drawing+book&qid=1576725307&sr=8-1 This is the easiest one, he has harder ones. Most libraries have a few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
