Really happy with transaction. Received exactly as described. Would purchase from this vendor again!

Great Learning Book

The last time I had drawn a figure was as a 10 year old boy. That drawing was of Abe Lincoln. Now, at the age of 37, I decided it would be fun to draw with a pencil again. This book was the first one, I bought this year, and am I glad I did. It leads you step by step the process of drawing a lifelike figure, from fixtures, to animals, cars, barns, etc. After completing my first drawing using the book, I was amazed at the result, and so is every one who has looked at it. I completed the second drawing with similar results, again, of a quality we could hang n our home and be proud of. The book tells you what pencil type to use, how to use it, with plenty of examples. If you are after a step by step book, that will give you lifelike results, I highly reccomend this book.
