The title of this whimsical guidebook doesn’t lie. It offers visual instructions for drawing a plethora of things from the commonplace to the bizarre. The pages switch between bright, pastel colours and classic white or brown paper to create sections, making it such a lovely object to handle (satisfying for a book about art!). Miyata has included a wonderfully peculiar range of objects: if you head to the ‘Around the House’ section you’ll find, on a single page, instructions for drawing both a mounted deer head and an air-conditioning unit! It’s a lovely reminder to be observant, pushing the reader to notice the mundane and teaching them to break objects down into building-block shapes. You can piece together drawings from across the book, and change the colours, medium or details of your illustrations, this adds endless possibilities to the already 2000+ things you’ll learn to draw.
