Covers alot . Very little step by step each topic. Some of the stuff can be found repeated at other book by the same publisher or author (those big and around 40 pages ones) e.g drawing tress and drawing landscape book. Overall ok for teaching . Compiled book of bits of infomation or reused drawings from alot of other books by same author or publisher

It is better than expected.

This is a really good book, but then again, I have never seen a Walter Foster drawing book I didn’t like. It is well formatted with big, beautiful drawings demonstrating a step-by-step process for achieving your goals. This book is substantial and well worth the money. My only fault would be the light gray ink they are using these days which is some kind of fad or trend that I hope publishers get over and past soon. (I totally hate it.)

Nice book. I wish there was a little more detail in the instructions.

The price was the best. I saw it other places, much higher.
