One of the better Disney tie-ins [Posted on 2007-08-22]
This step-by-step drawing book illustrates ten different characters -- the fairies Beck, Bess, Fira, Lily, Prilla, Rani, Tinker Bell and Vidia; the sparrow man Terence; and Queen Clarion. Best for older elementary-school to early high-school kids, it has easy-to-follow illustrations but goes into lots of intricate detail. Budding artists can use it to create full figures as well as portraits, each in four steps. The sections for Tinker Bell, Rani, Beck, Fira and Vidia also show how to draw portrait details such as shoulders, hair and eyelashes. Throughout the book, sidebar sketches display details such as noses, lips, eyes, clothing and wings, and show both proper and improper techniques. The book itself is printed on quality gloss paper stock, and nicely illustrated with soft floral backgrounds and leafy borders.

One final note: The female figures here all share the impossibly tiny waists common in cartoons and, for that matter, fashion illustration, but they don't have exaggerated bustlines or hips. And though the faces have plenty of personality -- Vidia bears a striking resemblance to Meg, from Disney's "Hercules" -- there's no cleavage, and none of the skirts or dresses shown are very high cut.

Good Choice! [Posted on 2007-09-16]
I am very glad that I ordered this book. It has very detailed illustrations to help me get a handle on drawing my fairys.

Fairies it is [Posted on 2007-11-05]
This is the best book of drawing Fairies I have ever seen. My three granddaugthers are all seven years old and they were able to drawing the fairies.

Advanced Art [Posted on 2008-10-31]
I bought the book for my 4 yr old who loves fairies. The basic concept she understood, but the technique was still a little too advanced for her. She enjoyed me helping her with it. I would recommend it as a stand alone for kids over about 7 yrs old, but younger than that expect to work with them as a joint project.

great how-to drawing guide [Posted on 2008-12-21]
This is perfect for girls aged 6-8 who love to draw. It would be good for older girls only if they like Disney fairies (they tend to outgrow them by age 8 or 9).
