The book had too much text and not enough illustration. It is not very suitable for artists with any experience as I am. But very good for beginners in pencil drawing.

I really learned a lot about the different methods used for making art look realalistic through the use of different techniques used for filling in light and dark areas after drawing a piece of art. This book will also serve as a good reference when needing any questions answered regarding what and when to used different techniques used for shading.

Ce livre est bien fait dans sa structure. Une partie leçon et une partie dessiner.
En tant que débutante, ce livre nous apprend les perspectives et ombrages.
Livre assez complet 190 pages, en anglais. Mais compréhensible.
Couverture rigide

This has a lot of information that I did not learn in any previous book (most of mine are several decades older) and all of it is laid out in a way where it is as easy to learn as it’s going to be. (You still have to get pencil and paper and put in effort….just the understanding is easier.)

I’m just starting to learn how to draw. This book was very helpful. I strongly suggest other beginners give it a close look.
