(3) 4-6 Savvy: Doodle with Attitude series. In each book, an introduction (with some boilerplate text) presents doodling as a creative, relaxing pastime and describes pens, brushes, inks, and paints to use.

Final pages suggest items to decorate: photographs, scarves, phone cases, etc. Reading list.

(4) 4-6 WF Studio series. Three distinct illustration styles are analyzed with profuse examples and stepped instructions (in small type) for young artists to try. Legendary characters, manga chibis, and womens' fashion designs are detailed from the first sketch to the final color product. For an imaginative aspiring artist, each volume is a workbook with lots of ideas for practice. The required skill level may put off beginners. Review covers these Walter Foster Studio titles: How to Draw Magical, Monstrous & Mythological Creatures, Fashion Design Workshop, and How to Draw Manga Chibis & Cute Critters.
