An inspiring and affirming book on drawing and how to think about drawing, for kids and all curious humans aged 8 and up. For fans of Wreck This Journal, Wreck This Picture Book, and Making Comics.

What happens when you pick up a pencil? How do you talk to yourself about drawing while you're drawing? Where do your scribbles start and where do they lead?

Are you ready to find out?

With acclaimed art and editorial director of Illustoria and author-illustrator Elizabeth Haidle as your guide through the world of art, Drawing Is ... is an essential and captivating guide to drawing, brimming with artful exercises and perfect for anyone seeking a creative adventure.

If you've ever picked up a pencil, drawn, stopped drawing, started again, doodled without purpose, sketched with intention, been disappointed with your art and thrown it out, yet turned the page to try a new experiment ... this book is for you.

All you need is a drawing surface, a drawing tool, a dot, and a line. Whatever your skill level, you're invited to draw along.
