The Deltora series was a great read for my children, 6 and 10. It was fun to draw the monsters with the kids. They’re unique monsters and the book fills in what was missing from our imaginations. The monsters were challenging for my 10 year old, quite difficult for my 6 year old. I end up doing most the drawing and they color the pictures. The diagrams are easy enough to follow. We just really loved the series and the drawing book was the “frosting on the cake”.

A good drawing book for those of us who had grown up reading the books, wanting to draw the monsters as well 😀

My son has recently become very interested in drawing. Add that to his love of the Deltora Quest series, it made this book a MUST HAVE! He was even more thrilled with the book than I had hoped! Plus, it doesn’t have just ONE drawing of each of the 10, but variations as well! Gorl, Soldeen, Vraal, Ak-Baba, Dragon, Gellick, The Glus and Reeah each have 3 variations, while the Sand Beast, needing more steps to draw, has none. But the cute Muddlet has a couple. My son was glad to finally know just what a Muddlet looks like! To top it off, the book is nice to look at, the colors used and the layout make it eye-catching and enjoyable. One of the best buys I’ve ever made!

The art is fantastic and my 10-year-old has done some great drawings using this book. Only reason I took a star away is some of the original step-by-step pieces are quite small plus with some of then an intricate piece will only have like 4 steps meaning that you are adding a huge amount of detail from one step to the next. Combine that with the small sizes and it can be a challenge seeing what exactly to do. As I said, a child can still produce nice pieces using this book but I can imagine some being overwhelmed looking at the level of complexity from one step to the next.
