Basic techniques for drawing lifelike images

This was my first Lee Hammond book and not likely to be the last. I have found that this book is very easy to follow, and a must have for any aspiring artist who loves to draw! It has helped me greatly in understanding how to use drawing tools and whenever I draw from it, I have loved ones peering over my shoulder to see what I'm drawing and the ohhhs' and awwws really put a smile on my face. Not to mention the finished product of my drawing. I didn't even know that I had that much talent but this book helps to bring it out of me and onto paper!

Love, Love, Love

I've just recently received this and 2 other books by Lee and absolutly love all of them. I am currently working from this book and can't rave enough about it. Her techniques have been so helpful that she has a lifetime fan, and my library will soon contain any and all books she has or will ever publish. Thank you Lee for making my drawings come to life. I can't put my pencil down.

MY FIRST LEE HAMMOND BOOK

THIS BOOK NOT ONLY TEACHES HOW TO DRAW BUT HOW TO MAKE EVERYTHING LOOK REAL. EASY ILLISTRATIONS AND CLEAR LANGUAGE MADE THIS BOOK FUN.

Possibly Lee Hammond's best book

Even if you own Lee Hammond's other drawing books, there is still a wealth of information to be gained from this one! The author provides clear instructions on a variety of topics -- from drawing stunning glass objects to producing the most technical architecture renderings -- it's all here, in the unique Hammond style. If I had to choose one drawing book to keep, out of my entire collection, it'd likely be this one. I'm thoroughly enjoying the reading of it and looking forward to practicing the many tutorials it offers. I give it a resounding A+. Jan (...)

Lee Hammon Does it Again

She has a way of describing her techniques and showing what needs to be done with just the right amount of information. She is gifted and it shows, not only in her art work, but in her writing as well. If you want to learn to draw real life, get this book.
