REVIEW

Very nice book on learning to draw. Broken down in two parts: Part 1 – basics to start practicing (drawing terms, techniques, and warm ups) and Part 2  – the drawing projects. This book is for everyone from 9 and up. I even managed to draw some pretty good sketches and I’m not known for my artist skills. The drawings are shown in easy to follow steps but you also look at the examples to get the full detail ideas. What I really liked is the variety of drawing projects.
