Everything you ever wanted to know about drawing ponies is brought to life by a sparky pony character called Smoky Joe, and his friends, Trevor and Rosie (all based on real ponies). Jennifer Bell's wonderful illustrations and advice on technique cover just about every form of drawing, from sketching from life, through to portraits, fantasy, and cartoons. She describes how to get the best results with pencils, felt tips, crayons, pen and ink, and pastels, and introduces the basics of anatomy, perspective, and proportion-all simplified and made fun for the younger audience.
