I was so excited to see this! I grew up with the Draw 50 series. Indeed, Draw 50 Sharks helped me win a contest in the seventh grade. As a homeroom, we drew pictures and submitted them for homeroom mascot. My thresher shark won, and we became St Pierre's Sharks. It was a proud moment in my young introverted life.
I found these instructions easy to follow those many moons ago, and perusing the pages once again I still find them easy to follow. This entire series is wonderful, and highly recommended to any who like to draw.
