4.0 out of 5 stars A realistic approach to understanding the fundamentals of drawing
This book is a good guide to any budding artist, or anyone wishing to improve their own drawing skills. A good range of techniques and related exercises are suggested. It is hard to see how anyone with an interest in drawing would not benefit from the practice of these. One of the features is the authors ability to relate to known artists and how they used certain techniques and methods to great effect. As a result not only does the reader have the opportunity to improve their drawing skills, but they will also gain a deeper appreciation of the use of these skills by great artists throughout history.

Great book
5.0 out of 5 stars A great comprehensive book that is great value for money.
For those people like me that are not naturally that good at drawing, but want to improve, this book is fantastic. It is so comprehensive, covering a range of different types of drawings and techniques. What I particularly like is that the step-by-step guides are both detailed and easy to follow. Like with anything, it takes practice and you will not get there overnight! But this is certainly not related to what the book offers.The only potential drawback is that there is a lot of detail in this book and this might prove to be a bit daunting! However, this is not a criticism of the book, it is just something that should be taken into account.This is a great book for a great price! No, I have not turned into the next Da Vinci, but I have definitely learned some great techniques. I would recommend this book to all fellow aspiring artists.
3.0 out of 5 stars Very detailed book but not age appropriate
