Simply Draw with Bob Parsons Some kids think drawing is a talent you either have or you don’t. Simply Draw with Bob Parsons takes a different approach—break the process into small steps, practice consistently, and watch drawings become recognizable much faster than expected. Designed for ages 10 and up, this drawing program walks students through sketching skills, one lesson at a time, with clear explanations, guided practice, and video instruction. The goal is not simply copying lines on a page—it’s understanding how drawings are built. Bob Parsons, homeschool dad of six, keeps the instruction straightforward with enough humor to make the process feel approachable without distracting from the work itself. The spiral-bound workbook gives students space to draw directly on the page using high-quality paper. At the same time, printable PDFs of every exercise allow multiple students—or parents—to work through the program together. Nearly three hours of video instruction guide students through the lessons, reducing the need for parents to teach unfamiliar art concepts themselves. Inspired by Bruce McIntyre’s classic Drawing Textbook, this Timberdoodle-exclusive program brings those foundational skills back in an updated format designed specifically for homeschool families. Included: 200-page spiral-bound workbook Video instruction and printable PDF exercises Introductory hand-lettering instruction Somewhere between the first shaky sketch and the later lessons, many students realize drawing feels a lot less mysterious.
