Homeschool Art Books and Curriculum

You Can Draw in 30 Days
The Fun, Easy Way to Learn to Draw in One Month or Less

By Mark Kistler, Publisher: Da Capo Lifelong Books

Learn the basics of drawing with You Can Draw in 30 Days by artist and author Mark Kistler. One of our daughters loves to draw with pen and ink, but lacked drawing training. We found this book to help increase her drawing skills quickly. She likes it and already did one of the more complicated drawings shown here:

We think this will make an excellent homeschool drawing course. All you need besides this book is a sketchbook, pencils, and erasers. If you need to keep a portfolio, we recommend the Black Sketchbook below or purchase both in our bundle and save.
