Illustrated by
Tom LaBaff.
These books provide instructions for drawing characters and objects and using them in imaginative stories. In the four simple steps the intent is sound: sketch big body shapes first, then add detail gradually, erasing extra lines and finally adding color. Somewhat advanced observational and hand skills are required; sample stories are given at the end. Reading list, websites. Ind.
