VERY pleasant surprise!, 2008-10-03
by Jennifer Spencer (Texas, USA)

I have tons of colored pencil instructional books and a few be Lee Hammond. Now, I'm very picky about the final outcome and therefore critical of instruction books. This book looked to be very different from Lee Hammond's other books and IT WAS! It's a great book for beginners, intermediate artists looking for a new technique and for folks like me who need to hone skills every day! After 3 years working in CP and all the books I have, I am pleasantly surprised for this one to be so great!
