illustrated by Elwood Smith


If you struggle to turn sticks into figures, then perhaps it is time to seek out a Trained Professional Artist! Illustrator Elwood H. Smith consults his expert funny bone as he leads budding artists through a tutorial on how to draw tricycle- riding pigs, silly-grinning cars, and jousting ketchup bottles. Emphasizing that subjects can be based on everyday materials and that artists have unique styles, this is a workbook that will encourage readers to experiment with their own types of visualexpression.

Elwood H. Smith is a renowned illustrator and former art director who studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. His work has appeared in advertisements worldwide as well as in such notable periodicals as Time, The Wall Street Journal, and Sports Illustrated. How to Draw with Your Funny Bone is his second picture book for Creative Editions, following I’m Not a Pig in Underpants. Recently honored by the Norman Rockwell Museum with a retrospective exhibition of his art, Smith lives in Rhinebeck, New York.
