The Complete Book of Drawing: Essential Skills for Every Artist Review: Opened package but excellent book for beginners. - This looks like a great book. A corner of it was slightly damaged and the package appeared to have been opened and taped closed again so I don't know if it was delivered to incorrect address first or if it was a used item packaged in a recycled package. Review: 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #67,000 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #77 in Pencil Drawing #88 in Figure Drawing Guides #94 in Pen & Ink Drawing | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,219) | | Dimensions | 8 x 1 x 11.5 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1848375360 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1848375369 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | November 27, 2009 | | Publisher | Arcturus | ## Images ![The Complete Book of Drawing: Essential Skills for Every Artist - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HTVyNWlVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Opened package but excellent book for beginners. *by P***T on April 14, 2026* This looks like a great book.

This book is great!! he actually walks you through the sketch step by step instead of just a paragraph telling you how to with an end picture saying now draw this. he does a great job walking you through how to sketch. great so far ## Frequently Bought Together - Complete Book of Drawing: Essential Skills for Every Artist - How to draw and think like a true artist: A 30-day Drawing Guide - From the Fundamentals to Step-by-Step Instructions with Detailed Illustrations and Comprehensive Explanations - Perspective Made Easy (Dover Art Instruction) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/19520087-the-complete-book-of-drawing-essential-skills-for-every-artist](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/19520087-the-complete-book-of-drawing-essential-skills-for-every-artist) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
