Drawing With Mark: A Day With the Dinosaurs

Who would have thought a complicated looking animal like a dinosaur would be easy to draw? Using basic shapes of a circle, rectangle, square and triangle, this DVD of a Day with Dinosaurs make it easy. It teaches drawing while entertaining children of all ages with fun facts about dinosaurs. Using animation, education, on site settings, and Mark showing how easy it is, it's the perfect DVD primarily teaching drawing, but also overall entertaining. There's a good reason as to why it has one so many awards. My grandchildren loved it!Djaffe

This is different. He does show you how to draw, but he incorporates some cartoon animals in a not so good way. Mark tries to make it smooth, but he is still very stiff and it's just weird. We found ourselves fast forwarding through to the pictures.

My grandson (5) was motivated to draw "like Mark" while watching the video. Enjoyable approach to drawing, nothing high-tech and maybe too basic for some, but a nice change of pace from online stuff.

I wanted some drawing DVD's with step-by-step "how to draw" lessons for my little 8 year old artist. Drawing with Mark is just what I was looking for and my daughter really enjoyed them.

Critically acclaimed with awards from Parents Choice, Creative Child Magazine, Dr. Toy and an Emmy nomination, the Drawing with Mark series is broadcast nationally and approved by KIDS FIRST. The series teaches as a whole teaches children of all ages how to draw (perfect for ages 5-9) while also including educational journeys to fun and exciting destinations. Former Disney illustrator Marderosian has a gentle approach to teaching that children love. Each episode starts with a visit to a fun destination and then transforms into a methodically wonderful lesson on how to draw related items. In this DVD, he visits an science museum, and then shows kids how to draw such items as Saturn, an astronaut and dinosaurs.An absolutely wonderful way to have a child spend his/her afternoon.

I received this as a gift and was quite surprised. I have two grandchildren who love to draw and this DVD was most helpful and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend this for everyone. Entertaining even for adults.

I bought this DVD for my son and he loves it. He has always enjoyed drawing and this DVD helps him develop his motor skills. I can't recommend this enough!
