I've never been the artist in the family, but it was never due to a lack of resources. Two of those resources were Ed Emberley's Big Green and Big Orange Drawing Books. Ed Emberley's style of drawing style matched my doodling style. Most everything was a combination of simple geometric shapes (circles, triangles, squares, and trapezoids). The instructions are kind of like Lego instructions with each step having symbols representing what just got added to the drawing. Each book (including the other two colors I don't remember us having - Red and Purple) has a theme that matches their colors. The Green book is very Irish, St. Patrick's Day, Green Dragons, etc along with plenty of other things. The Orange book is full of Halloween related objects. Though these are not the most professional Learn How To Draw books, they are simple, well designed, fun, and my personal favorites.
