Our daughter has been a big fan of Archie comics for years. They’re good for reading, with cute and clever stories, and are easy to find and inexpensive. So when she wanted to try drawing her own Archie comics, Learn to Draw Archie & Friends was the guide to get. We’re very pleased, and having fun with it.

It’s a large, 128-page book, filled with illustrations and fun facts about the Archie and all his friends. The general approach is to offer a series of illustrations, starting with basic shapes and guidelines, and gradually filling them in with details — just how the pros do. I think it’s a fun way way to learn to draw, plus, it has some of my daughter’s favorite characters!
