3.0 out of 5 stars Very detailed book but not age appropriate
This looked like a very detailed book. Print quantity was excellent. I bought it for my 11 year old but there is too much male and female nudity for them
Très satisfaite de mon achat... Merci!!
Merci !
Muito bom
Livro bem didático.
Excelente
Muy buen libro para empezar a dibujar, es más grande de lo que creí. Buenos consejos y ejercicios. El único problema es que solo está en inglés pero con un nivel intermedio se puede leer ya que usa un lenguaje simple
Sehr zufrieden
Ich würde dieses Zeichenbuch weiterempfehlen. Auf den ersten Blick sieht es vielleicht nicht besonders aus, aber es enthält eine Fülle von hilfreichen Tipps.
great big book. (note: i have not finished it yet)
it is indeed a very complete book, a wonderful primer for anyone who wants to start drawing or is trying to pick up the habit again (like me). the book includes basic shapes, figure drawing, caricatures, landscapes and still life; and probably i left behind important bits of the book in that enumeration, these ones are just the ones that catched my eye. also in the short time that i have practiced i can see and improvement in my way of drawing, even if its simple shapes.something to take into account before buying this book is that the way of teaching is not step to step, or at least i would not describe that way; the book gives written instruction (which are incredibly easy to understand and follow) and a picture of whatever you are suppose to draw. this is a very different way to learn that i am accustomed by my Autodidacticism.and also, i must admit that i wont take the pen as the book intends, i am too accustomed to hold the pen, the brush, the soldering iron or the scalpel the same way; but that just my personal pet-peeve, you may improve to hold the pen in the specific way the book intends, i don't.
