I am a sketcher, and I feel anyone who does sketch would benefit from this book. However, I guess I didn't realize the size of the book is kinda small. But, I'm sure you can learn from it. Very well illustrated.

This is a well-written, thoughtful instruction book that offers practical advice and demonstrations. I love the size of the book and the spiral binding. It's easy to throw it in my drawing bag and take it with me.

This is a good book on basic methods of drawing and art. This is an additioon to my library and to be shared with my grandkids.

I was expecting a standard size book, its more of a 5x8 sizematerial is good and I enjoyed the information

I love the exercises in the book. I enjoy the way it is illustrated. It really helped to supplement a class I took.
