Unlock Your Creativity with the Shape Drawing Challenge!

Have you ever looked up at the sky and seen something unexpected in the clouds—a dragon, a spaceship, or maybe even a dancing elephant? That ability to find shapes and transform them into something completely new is at the heart of creativity. And now, you can bring that same imaginative process to paper with the Shape Drawing Challenge!

This fun and engaging 106-page drawing activity book is designed to spark endless creativity. Whether you’re a budding artist, a seasoned doodler, or someone looking for a fun way to pass the time, this book is packed with inspiration.

How Does It Work?

The Shape Drawing Challenge presents you with 16 different simple shapes—your blank canvas for imagination. Each shape appears multiple times throughout the book, giving you the chance to create up to 480 unique drawings! Whether you turn a circle into a playful puppy, a mysterious planet, or a smiling sun, the possibilities are endless.

To help get you started, each shape comes with 6 hand-drawn examples. These serve as a creative boost, showing you how a single shape can be transformed into a variety of characters, creatures, and objects. From silly monsters to everyday items, this challenge encourages you to think outside the box and push the limits of your artistic imagination.

What Our Customers Are Saying

“The author really does a great job demonstrating how easy (and rewarding!) it can be to draw seemingly ordinary things you (and your little ones!) may feel too intimidated to try drawing without the step-by-step guide! Putting already-known shapes together and making something new and original is a fantastic way to learn! And recognizing that you can add your own twists and personality to your drawings makes all the difference. I think it’s a fun, original approach to building confidence for a lifelong hobby. I have the ebook copy, and can only imagine how great a physical copy would be!”

– Daenarah [Amazon Review]

“There are several of these fun books by this author. My kids and I have had a lot of fun with these. It’s a great activity to do as a family and see how they all turn out. Almost like a sip and paint but more of a juice box and draw.”

Allison B. [Amazon Review]

My kids can’t wait to start drawing these monsters in their illustrations! The many different moods of the monsters appeal to their different personalities. We love the many options, styles, and opportunities to expand upon the characters. Recommended for all ages!

– Kasey [Amazon Review]

“Kevin has put out many books on drawing and animation, and has such a great feel for HOW to explain the process. His art is so expressive and kid-friendly, but his real strength is in his ability to really explain and show how it’s done, making it accessible to kids and adults. I’m a firm believer that not everyone who “can do” can teach, but Kevin does both beautifully! Pick this up and watch kids have a blast making robots of all sorts, while learning great fundamental art skills at the same time!”

Tom R. [Amazon Review]

“My 5yo LOVES this book! The drawings are cute and the instructions are easy to follow along with. She gets a kick out of drawing muffin monsters and ketchup monsters and it actually keeps her pretty focused for long periods of time.”

– Monica [Amazon Review]

“This is a fantastic book for kids who love art, cartoons, comic books, or just having fun! There are a lot of characters to choose from, and really easy step-by-step instructions to follow. You child will have a blast drawing these fun, silly characters! And just in time for Easter baskets!”

– Bestmomever [Amazon Review]

“This is a very good book for kids that want to learn to draw, my sons love it and Kevin does a great job of making drawing fun and not intimidating. Highly recommended for the long summer hours!”
