Drawing has always been a big hit in our house.

Abi is the biggest fan of drawing and coloring, and she always has paper and crayons or pencils to color with, and she likes to draw abstract and creatively. Ella likes to draw and likes to draw people in detail.

I decided to have all of the kids participate in this one, and I am glad I did!

They all loved it and had a great time doing it together.

The book has 160 pages that you color right onto and is divided into 90 lessons.

Because it is consumable, we decided to have the twins look at the book and draw on a separate piece of paper. This way, they can also work on it again when they are older.

I was also able to participate with the kids. I love drawing also, but stick figures are my forte!

Each lesson says it lasts about 30 minutes, though we worked on it only as long as each child wanted to.

Ella was the only one that worked long enough to complete the lesson.

I wanted to keep going but stopped when the kids were done.

I really love this book because it teaches the male form without being indecent or making any of us uncomfortable.

There are a few different options for the cognitive drawing series.

The male figure in this book is based on a bodybuilder but gives an excellent base for all other human figures.

The book Cognitive Drawing - Male figure starts with the basics and gets more complex as it goes.

Each page and lesson adds more to what was previously learned and moves onto new parts of the body.

Overall we enjoyed learning how to draw the male figure and attempt it again when the kids are older.

It will be fun to see the differences between now and then!
