Customer Reviews

Catch yourself draw beautiful portraits of famous people!

The author is the best drawing teacher you never had. Thanks to his books, particularly this one, I really surprised myself drawing things I never thought I could. Buy this book and catch yourself drawing an excellent portrait of Chaplin, Einstein, Shakespeare. It is a uniquely satisfying experience. People always say they can't draw faces. Faces are too complex to draw. Well now you can. Get the book and impress yourself and friends.

What a book

I started off drawing faces from a book that shows all these circles, then all of the sudden have a great looking face. I was extremely annoyed until I stumbled upon this book. It has amazing steps that lets you draw great looking faces in a short period of time. I now have drawn Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Humphrey Bogart, Charlie Chaplin and LOTS more to come.

A really good book

This is a really good book. It has a lot of historical figures as well as current people to draw. The only drawback is that it was first published a while back, so pictures like Barbra Streisand and Bill Cosby are kind of outdated.
