About the book

Can your child draw a Viking longship? By the last page, they will have drawn 60 real legends from history, and they'll know the true story behind every one.

Every drawing in Epically Drawn takes six steps. Start with simple shapes, add the new dark lines shown in each box, then go over your best lines and erase the guides. The drawings are marked one, two or three stars, easy first, so a beginner can start with drawing 1 and keep getting better.

  • 60 step-by-step drawings of real history, from the Great Pyramid and a knight in armor to the Titanic and an Apollo 11 astronaut
  • A short true story beside every drawing, like the Viking ship that sailed to Chicago and the Moon suit from an underwear company
  • A Fact or Legend? question on every drawing, with the answers at the back
  • A drawing tip for every subject
  • A "Your turn!" page facing every drawing, on big 8.5 x 11 inch pages
  • An illustrated four-page "How to Use This Book" guide. All you need is a pencil, an eraser and a black pen

A great Christmas or birthday pick for kids 8 to 12 who love to draw.
