  Great for kids or adults. This book is smaller than it looks, but is packed with goodies. It has a pouch with washable markers and a pencil. The book also has tracing pages, and encourages you to have fun and scribble in the book. Has seperate sections on drawing faces, muscles, hands, and feet. Another part of the book shows you how to convey movement and action to your drawings so they look more animated. The text is really encouraging and convinces you to try stuff you thought was over your abilities. It shows you how to have fun while you learn. This would be great for a taking on travel on plane or car. I am having a blast with this book. This book is better than the Lee Ames books.
  
  

• THE book for beginning artists of any ilk!

  It is a difficult thing to discover a book on drawing that will coddle the casual (or serious) student without rushing or confusing him with complicated theory or diagrams. I received this book as a gift and soon fell in love with it. It is an easy, step-by-step guide to drawing the human figure that puts emphasis on the two most important aspects of drawing: observation and practice. The diagrams are easy to discern and the text leaves nothing to chance. Though the early parts of the book state that it is meant to be drawn in, I would not recommend it. The book is much better used as a textbook than a playground, although younger artists will find this "drawable" feature to their liking. If in the past books based solely on one company's characters have seemed unimaginative and merely promotional, this book will shatter all preconceptions. Add into the bargain that it includes a pencil and markers, and you're all set. A definite must have!
  
  

• A great present for any young boy!

  My five year old son found this book at a friends house and had to have it! He waited by the door until Amazon delivered his prized package! The book takes you step by step in learning how to draw various action figures and gives wonderful art lessons at the same time. We have some real treasures hanging on our refrigerator from this book! I'm going to order one for each of my son's boy cousins for Christmas and a few spares for birthday presents!
  
  

• One of the Best Drawing Books Ever Written

  
  By on 2003-06-21
  When I started out with this book, I was a clumsy, struggling artist, who knew nothing of muscle layout, stick figures, how to draw hands: mostly nothing. I had been illustrating my comic books with simple cartoon figures for some years.
  After purchasing this book, in literally two weeks after I started reading, it my drawing skill increased three-fold! My simple cartoon characters found life in incredibly illustrated figures and costumes, bringing to life new characters in my excitement to draw new things.

  This book is not just another drawing book; in fact, I have never seen anything like it. It doesn't just teach you to draw in the Marvel style, it kick-starts your unique artstyle. So in just a couple years, one will have almost indefinitely recognized their own way of drawing detailed figures.

  Not just an average drawing book, this is a drawing book that shouldn't be passed up. This is the epitome of a wonderful drawing book for beginners. An enthusiastic 5/5!
  
  

• Highly recommended

  At first I was reluctant to buy this book because it was in the kiddie section, but I figured that I would give it a try. I though that since it is a kids book it would be pretty good, I was very right! I highly recomend this book for those who are just learning how to draw and even to those who already can.
  
  
• This is a great help

  My brother gave this to me and when I was done with it I could draw better than I was able to before. It takes you through step-by-step and shows you the whole process of drawing super heroes. If you want to draw well, I would definately recommend this book.
  
  
• wow

  I saw this book in my brother's room a while back and since I've been doodling (pretty pathetically) in most of my classes, i figured it might do me some good to take a look at this book. it is amazing!! I've never been a great artist, but this book has shown me how to draw teh marvel characters and I can apply some of that knowledge now to my other doodles. DEFINITELY get it!!!!
  
  
• Good for young artists only. More serious artists left wanting more.
  By A8O679VD8X8TC on 2005-10-07
  This book is good for young artists and young artists only. If you're a kid who just wants to enhance your doodling skills then buy this book! The markers it comes with are water based, cheap, and nothing like what the pros use. If you are over 13 or you are young but want to become a very serious artist do not buy this book! you should buy: How To Draw the Marvel Way by Stan Lee. That book is quite a bit more advanced and involved for drawing your favorite Marvel characters and for creating your own characters.
  
  
• best bet for becoming a magnificent comic artist in a week.
  By on 1997-01-30
  This book is a great way to help with the basics of most comic heroes. It also provides space within the book to trace and add to the figures already printed. This book has helped many people to think of new characters of their own. I speak of this book with the highest recommendations. So go out and buy it!

• Great instruction
  By A3KCVWM71ED3Q3 on 2007-06-12
  This book is really great. My son picked it out as something he wanted because Spiderman was on the cover. I would never have thought to buy it. The content is great. It takes you step by step in drawing. It all starts with the stick figure with ball joints. This may seem dumb, but it is essential. I have been poor at drawing a body or figure, but after using the starting point of the stick figure and then adding more to it, I could not believe how well it turned out. I still only at the beginning too. Lots more to learn from it! This is a great way to teach my son how to draw at an early age. The superhero tie in is perfect, but the content is top notch.
  
  
• This is where it all starts.

  I can't walk past this book in a store with out picking it up (heck, I couldn't see a link for it with out clicking it).
  This is single handedly, the most influential book I have ever picked up.
  
  I first got it when I was 6, and it laid the ground work for the rest of my entire life. I'm an art student, I'm going to be an illustrator, I want to be in comics. This book is why and how.
  
  Everything in here is solid and where EVERY ONE should start if they want to do this thing right. Give this to your kids, give this to those friends of yours who want to do art, but never had any teaching or talent, give it to that rival who needs a refresher on the simplest of simple. Buy it for yourself, as a clear reminder of what you should be doing, and of the foundations that everything you do is based on.
  
  This isn't Burn Hogarth, but it is still a must for ANYONE getting into drawing. I can not recommend this enough. This book will always hold a special place in my heart and on my shelf.
  
  
  
• Great for kids!
  By A1SN6WG40P899E on 2007-02-06
  I make my living as an artist and am a lover of comic book and cartoon art. This book is a great introduction for children of any age who want to learn to draw superheroes and comics. It keeps the concepts fairly simple. My kids love it. I believe they have done all the exercises in the book and are ready for something a little more in depth...like maybe "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way."
