This is a must from who likes to work as David Drazil!

Los paso a paso son relativamente fáciles de seguir. Para mi gusto es demasiado básico pues falta una pequeña explicación de los puntos de fuga, el tema de líneas guía un poco justo. Me ha decepcionado, esperaba más del libro.

Our sixteen year old son enjoys drawing and creating. He was excited to receive this book as a Christmas gift. I’m excited to see his drawings.

A chi piace il disegno di architettura, è un libro molto bello, perché presenta molti edifici di diverso tipo, da disegnare con ombreggiatura al tratto. Ottimo per esercitare questa tecnica ed anche per allenare l’occhio alla prospettiva.
