This engrossing activity book helps unlock the power to draw for anyone interested in boosting their creativity. Marion Deuchars (Make Every Day Creative) first shows readers how to move their hand in any and every direction. This loosens up ingrained habits or creative blocks, allowing full enjoyment of dozens of inspiring, "rule"-breaking exercises. In each, Deuchars demonstrates what's possible (her kooky line art examples feature prominently), then invites practice either in provided blank spaces (the book easily opens flat) or directly on top of her own work. Among other artistic fun, users create blobby, triangle, and acrobatic people; bring to life continuous-line drawn animals; master glitchy, runaway, and crosshatch lines; and build cities, grow flowers, and set off fireworks. Gentle, inviting prompts ("discover what happens when") instead of direct explanations of expected results let artists find something special about each method. Ink, pencil, and crayon transfer pleasingly onto the thick stock. The wonderful Take a Line for a Walk should bring joy to any beginning artist as they watch their scribbles become full worlds. --Samantha Zaboski, freelance editor and reviewer
