Abracadabra! With the flick of a pencil, young artists can learn to draw fairies of all shapes and sizes. In easy-to-follow steps and clear diagrams, beloved author/illustrator Ralph Masiello shows kids how to create and draw all different creatures from the fairy realm. From tiny fairies to fairy godmothers, THE FAIRY DRAWING BOOK offers a wide range of fascinating fantastical beings. Some are instantly recognizable, like the Tooth Fairy, while others, such as Hairy Fairy, are products of Masiello’s imagination, encouraging children to branch out with creations of their own. The step-by-step instructions will both build confidence and inspire creativity in artists at all stages.

Bonus steps include instructions on how to draw whimsical wands, handy purses, or fetching flowers. Back matter includes a list of books and websites for fairy-loving readers to check out for inspiration, or just to enjoy while drawing fairy creatures of their own.
Ralph Masiello has illustrated many books, including THE ICKY BUG COUNTING BOOK, THE FLAG WE LOVE, and his popular drawing series. He lives near Boston.

Greetings, Artistic Fairy Fans.
            When my youngest daughter was little, she shared with me her fascination with fairies. Together we read fairy books, drew these miniature beings, and tried to find flying friends wherever we went. We even left tiny treats for fairy visitors at the foot of the pine trees in our backyard.
            In this book I hope to share my daughter’s enchantment with fairies by showing you some simple ways to draw your own. You might even recognize a few famous wand-holding fairies as you learn to illustrate a variety of winged creatures.
            Follow the steps in red to create your drawings. Then color in your artwork with your favorite tools. Try the extra challenge steps in blue to add even more fun and fantasy to your art.
            Have fun!
            -Ralph
