Customer Reviews

Great book for beginning artists!

The exercises in this book are simple and encourage the budding artist to try their hand at drawing. She starts small, with pencil sketches, goes to pen and ink, and then adds color. This isn't one of those intimidating hyper realistic drawing books. It keeps the fun of drawing without the stress of exact likenesses! It shows household items, animals, landscapes, and people. I would recommend it!
