Review: Taught me realistic faces - I’ve always tried to draw realistic but just couldn’t get it. This book helped me passed that block. The step by step instructions are easy to understand and follow that in no time ar all I was drawing realistic faces. It was very gratifying to finally tackled it.
Review: New eyes :) - Most of the drawing books I've come across are flamboyantly decorated, promising you the ability to produce similar images - "Picture perfect techniques". As encouraging as that may seem they usually set a bar that isn't met and leaves much to be desired. Hands down this is the best instructional book I've found. It's easy to comprehend, giving practice exercises simple instructions and usually a step by step for understanding the dynamics of what you're drawing, not just reproducing the picture in front of you. Incorporating the information given to my own art from this book has improved the end product drastically.. One of the best artistic investments I've made honestly. If you're patient, open minded, and objective about your own work with practice I truly feel this would be extremely beneficial. It breaks down common misperceptions when drawing and offers new sight to actually see what it is you want to mimic while giving you the necessary tools to do so. I strongly recommend if you're serious about it to invest in high quality pencils, paper and erasers (kneaded erasers are magical) all of which is covered in the book as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it.
*by D***N on February 16, 2011*

I read most of the reviews and comments here before purchasing this book from Amazon. I have alot of drawing books. None of them are probably perfect and I'm sure there is always something someone can say to criticize anything. HOWEVER, I think the drawings in the books provide good examples for the lessons and points being taught. Perhaps the "haters" are referring to the drawings in the first couple of chapters showing student's before and after pictures. Some are done by kids. Yes, I think the pictures in Lee Hammond's "How to Draw Lifelike Portraits from Photographs" are a little better, but not by much. Anyway, the book is well organized and easy to follow. I like it. If you draw for enjoyment, this is a great book for your library. It is one of my favorites. I also have Walter Foster books; books by Lee Hammond, Bert Dodson, Jack Hamm, J. D. Hillberry, and Joseph Sheppard among others. I don't HATE or REGRET getting any of them.
