This book will teach you how to get your shadows right, to express the fur of animals, their body, their face. It explains how to shade simple objects, how to draw without thinking of the result, with the help of a grid. It teaches you how to render the different parts of the bodies of very different animals. For me it was a great help, I really think it can help out beginners in making their drawings more realistic.

As a beginner, I found "Drawing in Color" is very helpful to me. I have another two books called "Lifelike drawing in colored pencil" by Lee Hammond and "Colored Pencil Solution" by Janie Gildow and Barbara Benedetti Newton. These three books combined give me most tips and techniques that I was able to draw four beautiful colored pencil pictures in short period of time.

This book is very well written and takes step by step to show how to create and finish top quality drawings. Great attention to detail and will improve even an advanced artist. Easy to follow and gives information to properly proportion and size your drawing. Especially informative to get faces right and finely detailed.
