Kids start with a square, add a line, a curved line, and some more straight and curved lines. They are encouraged to keep following along with each step.
As they make their way through the steps, all the new pencil marks to make are shown in a different color so it’s easy to know what to draw next.
Once they near the end of the project, these young artists will start to see a drawing of an elephant appear on their paper, and all they need to do now is add some color.

Great selection for a gift for a young artist, perhaps with some added sketch pads and pencils. This would also make a superlative classroom or library book. I would also recommend this book to babysitters, grandparents, parents, and basically anyone who spends a fair bit of time with small kids in order to up their 'draw with me' game. I really enjoyed this and managed to follow the tutorial .
Five stars. This is a fun activity book and will provide hours amusement for all ages.
