I needed this book to guide me through the beginning stages of drawing. It is easy to understand and contains templates to state your drawing.

This is extremely helpful in starting out with the basics. Drawings are turning out a lot better, and more realistic. Thank you!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good practice

This disappointed me a bit as the title implied an absolute beginner would learn something from using this book. I found excercises for using a pencil, but other than line drawing, I didn’t find useful drawing excercises. Someone with more skill than I might find this more useful.

Very detailed

J.F.P. · August 31, 2021

I've just started working through this book and find the author has done a great job in illustrating exactly what needs to be done in the various drawing exercises. I'm what might be called a "sermi-beginner" as tapping into my family's artistic roots is my retirement project. I've been working through various art courses over the past six months, but some of them were getting far to complicated. So far, this one is just the ticket, so I'm looking forward to continuing along with the author through the winter months.
