2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good book, January 16, 2005
I am a horrible but determined artist. I have enjoyed the "How to Draw 50..." series since I was very young. However, this particular book is not helpful: majority of the drawings are far too intricate to follow, most of them are unknown plants and flowers, and it fails to teach something.

Unlike the "How to Draw 50 Athletes" this book doesn't have a goal, other than to instruct you on how to mimic some plants and flowers. Whereas, after going through the "Draw 50 Athletes," I learned how to draw the human body; the muscles, head features, proportions, and how they moved.

This book is not for beginners I assure you of this. I understand nature is harder to recognize and capture, but the book just was too difficult to follow, I was only capable of drawing 12 of the 50, and I do each one many times, and I still showed no improvement.

It's just not worth owning. You won't learn anything, and you wont enjoy the process of drawing the plants and flowers. I promise.

In My Humble Opinion

3.0 out of 5 stars not for beginners, February 2, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is for someone with a little artistic ability. The flowers and trees are shown in a few steps with the end result being very detailed. Not a step by step for someone without any talent or experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Draw 50 Flowers, Trees and Other Plants, July 31, 2002
This is a great instructional book. It takes you step by step thru the process. I would reccommend it to anyone starting out in drawing.
