About the Author Lee Judah Ames (January 8, 1921 – June 3, 2011 ) was an American artist noted for his Draw 50... learn-to-draw books. He was born in Manhattan, New York. His first job at age eighteen was at Walt Disney Studios. He has since led a career as an advertising artist, fine artist, cartoonist, designer, animation in-betweener, illustrator, and as an artist-in residence at Doubleday.

Reviews
Purchased as a birthday gift for my dad and he really liked it. He loves to draw and doodle and this book is easy enough for a beginner, but also helps to hone any artist's skill. Good variety of objects to draw as well. Draw 50 is a nice series of books.
