Review #1

Excellent book for beginners

I don't buy books very often simply because I don't want clutter in the house. I have borrowed a lot of books related to drawing from the library, but the only one that I thought of buying is this one. It's simply written; the instructions are clear, and I love the encouragements the author uses to keep us going. The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star is because I would have wanted some instructions on how to draw without a model. I want to be able to draw any animal in any position without looking at a picture or at the animal itself and there was no mention of that in the book. Otherwise, this book is a must-have for those learning how to draw.




Review #2

Kind of Lame

Too simplistic, even for a complete novice--also, the illustrations are downright weird. There's a whole chapter where the artist has drawn normal faces except everybody has a circle for a nose. Probably there's a point there, but it escapes me. Also, I'd rather have straight instruction than somebody trying to be cute and funny and failing miserably. That said, there are a few good points to the book, but I wouldn't buy it new and pay full price.





Review #3

Drawing for Dummies

Love the book. Book was as said it would be. Got it real fast. Will deal with them again.
