Synopsis
This guide shows how to draw the different parts of the face - eye, mouth, nose - both separately as well as in proportion to the face as a whole. The book also describes how to age and give expression to the face that is being drawn. Photographs guide the artist through the different stages of drawing. The book is one of a series that introduces children to the basic techniques of drawing. Each book concentrates on a particular subject and suggests different ways in which the drawing of that subject can be tackled. Step-by-step sequences and tips about technique and materials aim to help the young artist achieve impressive results.

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6?As one has come to expect in a DK offering, the strength of these how-to-draw-it titles lies in their use of color photographs, a fairly novel and welcome feature in art books for a juvenile audience. Less welcome is the DK convention whereby each two-page spread introduces a new concept (in the case of Fantastic Animals, a new type of animal; in Amazing Faces, a new element, style, or technique of portraiture), which preordains a certain artificiality of organization and shallowness of coverage that is only compounded by the brevity of each title. Accepting these drawbacks as a given and ignoring the visual choppiness and other defects of layout and design, there are elements here that young artists may find helpful. Certainly the pages devoted to "family features" and "caricatures" in Faces are intriguing and illuminating. And the rather tedious repetitiveness in Animals does reinforce the basic concepts of form, line, shading, and perspective. If nothing else, both titles encourage methodical effort and careful observation and will be welcome in large collections.?Marcia Hupp, Mamaroneck Public Library, NY
