It’s nice knowing how to draw these air planes but who would
Want to draw a blimp or hot air balloon (no offense to people who like blimps and hot air balloons)

I used this book with my kids when we were reading/studying World War II. They had a lot of fun looking up the individual planes on the computer and figuring out when and how they were used and drawing them. They found the pictures easy to follow and produce good results in their drawings.

This is the fourth drawing book I have purchased by Lee J. Ames. These are definitely the best drawing books available for kids. I have given several as gifts, and they are always well-loved. The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, not too challenging, and have great results. Any of the “Draw 50” books are excellent, it just depends on what you’re looking for. Great for kids, and beginning artists. Not too detailed, and yet still very nice pictures and hours of fun.

I shows you how to draw planes but not in a detailed way. It’s helpful but if you have any skill you won’t need this book.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my brother, who loves all things army and is quite knowledgeable about airplanes. He spent quite a long time looking at all of the models and seemed pleasantly surprised to find a model he hadn’t known before! He used to draw when he was little, so I hope he has a lot of fun with this book.

I bought this as a gift along with a drawing set for my younger cousin because he loves drawing planes. He would not stop looking through the pages and loved looking at all the planes and figuring out how to draw them.

I’m a ten year old. I love drawing airplanes. This book taught me how to draw many different kinds of planes including the B52 bomber (USA) and the B17 flying fortress. Also in the book you can draw other things that fly too. For example, in the book you could draw the Saturn 5 rocket and draw the command module in it. In my opinion this is a great book to get for a young artist.

All of this author’s drawing guide books are excellent.

I used this both as an art teacher and as a reading teacher. Boys love to draw these things. In art, they need to really see and notice detail, and they have to persevere until they get it right. In reading, they have to do the art skills, and follow directions. Since it’s non-fiction, it fits in with today’s education trends. Kids love to draw whether they’re in art class or reading class, and how special is it to be able to use this as a reading teacher? Your male students will love you.

I like this for the easy step by step directions and the wide variety of these aircrafts to select from. So, I would like to recommend this for five stars and for children and adults who wish to learn how to draw these types of airplanes, aircrafts and spacecrafts. I received this ebook for the cost of this ebook I had bought as a tool for being an author and illustrator, so now that I have looked it over from front to back Ai am now sending you this review in return for being able to buy this for my library at a great price, here is my honest review. super job Lee! Just like to make one suggestion: I would have been more super if you could have put each of these lessons in ABC type of order and let the author then go to this table of contents and tap on their particular lesson right then and there instead of having to spend a lot more time searching for it when they most need to begin drawing,see? Thank you for hearing a buyer out Lee J.! By Angela
