Best for the beginner, 2009-10-01
by Pottery Gal (Columbia MO)

As a beginner to drawing I have checked out many drawing books from the local library. My classes are very informative but I can't remember everything that is taught and this book covers all the beginning techniques with lots of examples. I think it is the best of the many that I have read.

It is really cool because it shows shading techniques, viewpoint and how to draw trees. I would recommend this book for other beginner artists.

I purchased this art book for my 12 year old granddaughter. She was doing some very nice sketching but did not know any of the techniques that you need for shading, etc. She was thrilled with this book and spent a couple of hours on Christmas day drawing from it. She is homeschooled and will use it weekly for art class.
