Reddit reviews 642 Things to Draw: Inspirational Sketchbook to Entertain and Provoke the Imagination (Drawing Books, Art Journals, Doodle Books, Gifts for Artist)

This is an affiliate link, which means I get "credit" if you click on it. Nothing creepy happens. As a complement to something like this, maybe get him one of those 642 Things to... books like this http://amzn.to/2yk7vrQ They have them for pretty much everything, photography, writing, etc.

It's called 642 Things to Draw and is basically just page after page of blank space with simple drawing prompts, such as "a thumbtack" in OP's photo.

It's available on Amazon for around $13.

It's a fun book. My only warning would be that the paper isn't very high quality and the prompts are printed on both sides, so I often end up not being able to use some prompts because ink has soaked through the paper.

A lot of my development as an artist has been through this book: http://www.amazon.com/642-Things-Draw-Chronicle-Books/dp/0811876446

I recommend it pretty highly. I'm pretty sure I have it to thank for getting into an art-based Master's program.

I have this but haven't thumbed through to see what age group it caters to.

A room without books is like a body without a soul. I want this book because I really want to hone my skills as an artist and this will give me so much practice!
