Learn to draw and paint more than 100 of your favorite everyday items!  Step-by-step projects, prompts, and creative inspiration make it fun and easy to draw your outfit, your favorite foods, your garden, and much more using drawing and painting tools you already have on hand. 
 From learning to draw and paint 
plants, 
flowers, and 
bicycles to the 
neighborhood café and the 
contents of the kitchen cabinet, 
Draw Every Little Thing demonstrates just how easy it is to render the world around you with little more than a pencil, paper, and paint. 
 Following a brief introduction to the joys of simplistic drawing and painting, this aesthetically pleasing book familiarizes you with a range of drawing tools and materials, including 
graphite pencil, 
pen and ink, 
colored pencil, and 
gouache, before offering a quick 
overview of basic color theory. Each subsequent chapter is then devoted to a specific theme--kitchenalia, hobbies, neighborhood haunts, and much more--and packed with simple 
step-by-step drawing projects. 
 This accessible book 
encourages you to jump around so you can draw what immediately inspires you. Interactive prompts, creative exercises, and inspiring ideas make the process fun and engaging. Easy techniques and helpful instructions show you how to 
develop your own personal style, as well as 
add color to your drawings using gouache and colored pencil.

 Filled to the brim with
