Customer Reviews

a must have for young budding artists

I bought this for my 9 -1/2 y/o budding artist. She asked me one day how to draw a nose. So we went to the library and found this book among many other art books. It was a 'have-to-have'. It is perfect for 8y/o & older. Each aspect of the face(eyes, ears, etc...) is simply illustratrated across several pages. It also covers facial expressions, perpective, color, patterns and much more. What a find!

A simple way to become an artist

This book by Angela Gair is a small thesaurus for all those who want to be artists. Although not easy at first, this book guides you step-by-step to a successful design. Being an art student myself, I found this book not only very attractive to read, but also very helpful in my course. It may need time, patience and effort to achieve the desirable outcome, but I believe that in the end everyone will appreciate the value of this book.
