Great book! Great price!
I bought this book for my grand daughter, who is a budding artist. Since she was around six years old, she's showed a bent for drawing and sketching. In the past few years I've given her different books o sketching: how to sketch apples or oranges,how to sketch trees, how to sketch fairly simple objects.Now she seems to be able to move on to more complicated subjects. This book seems to fill that need very well. She was thrilled to get this book, and hasn't put it down since she received it.

My first "Art" -book and a good read. Would have rated it higher had the graphics displayed better on my Samsung Tab3. Also, that might be a function of the Kindle App not allowing for an enlarged view on my device. Overall, 4 star rating is the best i can do. Enjoy.

A great, comprehensive book.
No book can teach you how to draw, they can only show the direction. This book does it incredible well.Examples are just enough concise. Usually its a 2 or 3 stages of picture from sketch to detailed result. Examples look good, making you want to draw like author.Book covers drawing using pencil and has a few chapters about pen and ink drawing.Highly recommend it for anyone who want to obtain a skill of drawing.
