Ralph Masiello's Robot Drawing Book

I gave this to my son for his 5th birthday. He loves to create Robots and really wanted to learn how to draw them. This book gives an easy breakdown on how to draw everything you can find on a robot such as electrical outlets to lightbulbs. It also helps children in learning their shapes. My son loves to stare and attempt to draw from this book on a daily basis. He takes this book everywhere we go, along with paper, clipboard, and pencil. It keeps him engaged and gives him the desire to learn how to draw robots. The Author did a great job breaking the steps down on how to draw a robot. I plan on buying more drawing books from the same author such as bugs and dinosuars!

This was my first introduction to a Ralph Masiello how-to-draw book, and I'm never buying from another series!!! This particular book includes all the components for making a robot; then you pick and choose the ones you want to use to create your OWN robot. I love the creativity behind that! Of course, there are a few completed robots that you get the step-by-step for, which is also fun. We gifted this to our seven-year-old boy. The included pic was his very first attempt...with success! A great, super fun drawing book!

My 8-year-old son is intrested in robots, but hasn't had much experience drawing them. This book is perfect for someone who is starting to draw and needs something to go from. The first time he tried to copy a drawing from this book, I could tell what he was trying to draw. There are several pages in the front that show basic shapes and "spare parts" which include accessories like batteries, cables, antennae, and hoses. Then after that the rest of the book is drawings of robots that put those parts together. Great book for children just learning to draw.

This how to draw a robot book is absolutely fantastic. It really takes you step by step! It can be used as a basis and expand on your own or it has suggestions of what you can add to make it more unique. Step by step black and white drawings and then a full page of the finished robot in beautiful color. It also tells you what they colored it with, ie; colored pencils, markers, crayon, watercolor etc. Highly recommend!

Bought this as a gift for my 8 year old brother and he loves it! These robots can be as complex or simple as you want. Lots of ideas! Great for adults too. I bought this one and the Halloween drawing book. I've had them for a year or so and they still get used! Would definitely recommend!

A little thinner than I expected but it still looks like fun.

My almost 7 year old son loves this book! The steps to creating robots are visual and very easy for him to follow. He was very intrigued with the robots and has been making great pictures ever since we got this for him as a Christmas gift. I will buy more books from this author in the future.

I love these "How to draw" books by Ralph Masiello. Here is why: First of all, because Masiello himself CAN draw -- amazingly well, in fact. He is a remarkably gifted artist. Second, Masiello breaks the drawings down into steps that a five- or six-year-old (active) boy can follow. And by following the steps, my little boy has created some pretty great drawings. Third, this particular book is about robots. Robots! Who doesn't love robots? Who wouldn't want to create or at least draw his very own robot? Pretty much every five- or six-year-old boy I know would.

my son loves it....simple steps and very well presented!

I bought this for my 5 year old who has only recently really begun to love to draw (until then, anything involving holding a pencil was a bit too much of a chore). He loved working his way through this book and copying them all one by one. He hasn't really got the hang of mix and matching them yet, but when we were drawing machines on the weekend we got this book out again for inspiration on levers and buttons. Very easy to follow.

Excellent ! Ce livre tout simple permettra d'obtenir des résultats rapidement. Jolis détails, étapes claires, faciles à suivre, plein d'exemples amusants et d'autres plus complexes... Pour artistes débutants comme plus confirmés.
