Monster Safari brings an element of excitement and adventure to young readers' drawing experience. Author-illustrator Bron Smith invites young artists to join him on his sketching safari to Monster Island, an off-the-charts tropical island deep in the South Pacific. While on the expedition, Bron filled his sketch book with drawings of the zany little monsters that they encountered during the course of their trek. Young readers will be shown step-by-step how to draw each of the "Little Beasties" that his explorer team encountered on the tropical island.In order to familiarize the reader with the island, Bron painted a bird's-eye view of the island, as well as a route map that tracks the course of their explorations. Those who want to learn more about drawing monsters are given instructions on how to do pencil shading to make their monsters look more realistic. After they've mastered the shading techniques, Bron encourages the reader to try their hand at drawing their own monsters. There's back-pack full of drawing fun for young drawing explorers in Monster Safari. Look for more exciting how-to-draw books from Bron Smith soon.
