I found this book at the dump and was so torn about which pages to place here. The graphics are amazing and the only pics in color are posted here. I am not sure about the year of release as there is no info that tells me that. Again, I love the floating heads off to the left. Have fun looking through the pages….

    I love these kind of “how to draw” books. Have a ton of them but none of kids. Thanks for the excellent documentation and congrats on learning how to size your photos!

    I always rebelled against drawing anything exactly as it appeared but it’s always good to have the basics down before one decides to divert down their own path.

    Love it! What a collection. The clothing of these drawings look to be early to mid-1950’s. Puff sleeves, a cowboy, mod stylized drawings. It has the feel of many illustrations from vintage dress patterns.
