What a pleasant surprise
Doodletopia Fairies turned out to be! The simple (yet helpful) tips and illustrations in this book are exactly what I was hoping for. The author, Christopher Hart, is "renowned for up-to-the-minute content and easy-to-follow steps." This book starts with sketching basic fairy heads, then bodies, followed by clothing, accessories and wings. It also demonstrates extra things such as personality, magical powers, musical instruments, and fairy dwellings. I love that Hart designed this book to be interactive. Space is allotted for practicing fairy sketches within the same pages as the technique instructions. Printed on quality paper, this book should hold up well over time.
Doodletopia Fairies exceeded my expectations. This will be the perfect gift for my very creative and artistic 8 year old daughter. The instructions and pictures are simple enough for her to follow, but fun enough that I too would enjoy an afternoon sketching fairies and their habitats.
I received this book free from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.
