Description

What would you do if drawing could be as simple as picking up a pencil and moving it around on the page, as fun as playing a game, or as exciting as setting out on an adventure? The answer is, you would spend all your time drawing, just like the author and illustrator of this book, Marion Deuchars! Featuring more than one hundred drawing prompts, Take a Line for a Walk takes the pressure out of being creative by turning every drawing into a game.

Having spent decades at the drawing board, Marion Deuchars knows exactly how to make art fun and easy. Whether it's drawing a line with the hiccups, playing a visual game of cat and mouse, or walking your line around a maze of busy streets, Deuchars has endless suggestions for how to start a drawing.

Without having to worry about what to draw, or what the results might be, young artists can enjoy following each prompt to see where it might take them. And thanks to Deuchars's deft and playful touch, every drawing is a game that results in an artwork. Peppered through the book are Deuchars's own beautiful line drawings, all of which are the result of simply taking a line for a walk.
