Ed Emberley has been drawing and making art for children's picture books for six decades now. Some of his work include instructional drawing books, inspired by his belief that everyone can learn to draw.
In his drawing books, he illustrates step-by-step instructions on how to draw animals, insects, plants, people, faces, vehicles, structures, and even themed objects like those for Halloween and Christmas.
Here are a few samples from his Christmas drawing book, where he illustrates how to draw a Christmas tree, a ball of mistletoe, Santa's sleigh along with Santa and some elves, Santa's reindeer, and even a snowman.
Using very simple shapes and figures that younger children (and even adults who don't necessarily have the aptitude for sketching) can follow, Ed shares his love for drawing through these picture books. He has illustrated or contributed to 50 books in his career, and has written 24 drawing books. -via Everlasting Blort
