This is a very good book for beginners。 It has a lot of exercises and an introduction of basic art terms for observational drawing。 I just wanted more information about the concepts and a little about creativity and how to use shapes for that, but I also understand that this was foccused on realism and that it is said that one should learn how to draw that before creating their own style。 This book is mostly blank pages for practice。 However, it has basic information and tips on where and how to This is a very good book for beginners。 It has a lot of exercises and an introduction of basic art terms for observational drawing。 I just wanted more information about the concepts and a little about creativity and how to use shapes for that, but I also understand that this was foccused on realism and that it is said that one should learn how to draw that before creating their own style。 This book is mostly blank pages for practice。 However, it has basic information and tips on where and how to start the art journey by observing the world。 。。。more

[I haven't finished the book yet。 Will update when done]。 I saw really low ratings here and I am surprised but I wonder if it has to do with expectations。 This is a workbook, not a theory book, and as such it is pretty good。I am a self taught artist and I am familiar with lessons about contour drawing, tone, etc。 I bought this book as a way to have externally guided practice, to spice up my pandemic artist practice, and always to learn something new even in topics that you are already familiar w [I haven't finished the book yet。 Will update when done]。 I saw really low ratings here and I am surprised but I wonder if it has to do with expectations。 This is a workbook, not a theory book, and as such it is pretty good。I am a self taught artist and I am familiar with lessons about contour drawing, tone, etc。 I bought this book as a way to have externally guided practice, to spice up my pandemic artist practice, and always to learn something new even in topics that you are already familiar with。 So far this has been exactly what I found。The book has plenty of exercises from the basic perception skills and mark making, to color and tone work and a bit of general art practice habits。 The book can be used from beginning to end or you can choose exercises based on your focus。 There are separate content tables (by concept, method, time you have to dedicate to practice, materials) so that you can pick and choose the exercises。 Across the book there are helpful tips and a reminder to practice the exercises more than once beyond this book。 The illustrations in the book are big, allowing to see traces and hatching, they also offer inspiration and learning。 The paper is strong and takes ink really well and there's plenty of space for drawing in the book; the book opens flat making it very convenient。 So far the guided practice has refreshed my memory on basic perceptual skills, hand eye coordination, and line-weight control and has offered some externally guided sessions at my own pace。 If you expect this to teach you from 0, maybe this is not the best way to start (lynn Chapman's and Danny Gregory's books can be a good companion for those not enticed by formal art education)。 For those in need of practice and structure to add to their daily art practice, I think this is great! 。。。more
