How to Draw Princesses and Other Fairy Tale Pictures: Step-by-Step Drawings! (Dover How to Draw)

It would have been helpful to see a few more previews of what was inside the book. I got this as a gift for my niece who has recently shown an interest and talent for drawing, and when it arrived it contained tutorials on how to draw things that were both too complicated and too simple, with some in between. I was impressed by the variety of images included, because when I purchased it I was under the impression that it contained only princesses. I think the product information may have been altered since then. She seemed to like it, although she lives several hours away so I'm not sure if she had any trouble trying to go through the steps. Overall I think it was a good find!

My seven-year-old daughter has developed a keen interest in art and she loves drawing, especially fairy tale princesses, fairies, etc. This book was just what she needed as it is not overly complicated as to put her off, and not too simple that it does not pose any sort of challenge in terms of developing her artistic skills.The steps are easy to follow and progress just right for young children who are able to focus for short periods of time. I am quite hopeless at drawing and found this book to be a fun project book to work on with my daughter. We spent a pleasant afternoon drawing various fairy tale pictures, and then painted them! Highly recommended.

It's a nice book, no question there- plenty of princesses and fairy tale pictures to learn to draw as promised. However, on Amazon the manufacture states that this book is suggested for ages 6+. I bought this for my six year old sister. While she is no daVinci, she is an ok artist for her age. She found it very difficult to replicate most of the steps in this book. I would say these drawings are aimed more towards the 10+ crowd. Though designs are not terribly intricate, many steps are presented at the same time, and the slightest difference in angles and shapes greatly changes the end product. Not upset with what I bought, I should have looked more closely at the steps shown on the cover (in my defense I thought that the actual book might break the steps down more than those seen on the cover).

Bought this for a 7-year old girl who loves to sketch, paint, draw but hasn't figured out how to draw people yet. She can follow the step-by-step shapes and make her fairy designs now look better than stick figures!

My granddaughter loves to draw. However...this series is a little more difficult than I had expected. I think she will pick it up and try it again. She is almost 6, probably a better gift for about an 8 or 10 year old. I really do like the concept, however. I llke that it does give guidelines, but it does NOT restrict creativity.

I purchased three of these books for three of my female grandchildren as gifts. All three children adore the books. The amazing thing is that the children's ages vary from five years to fourteen years old. Almost immediately they began to follow the directions to draw. I was amazed to find that the two five year old children could do so well. One of the first items that one of them drew was a castle. I am not sure how long this interest will last but for right now they are happy and content to spend at least an hour at a time entertained with their new how to draw books. Thank you.

Gifted for 2017 Christmas. I was given a book like this when I was a youngster. I never became an artist but I enjoyed the talent for years.

This was a Christmas present for my youngest granddaughter! She asked for an art kit (it also was from amazon). So she also received this book "How to Draw Princesses". When she received her book Ma got a big hug, kiss and thank you. Over Christmas she used it several times (I was there 11 days).

Kids lov it

Good book for kids. They're only cheap, so don't expect a whole lot, but definitely worth the pennies

The 6-year old I bought this for was enchanted and with the help of her mom has been drawing LOTS of princesses!

My niece of 8 years old loved these and started drawing as soon as she received them. (I bought several of them at once.)

It’s an average book
