Short but sweet,

This review is from: Drawing Trees (Paperback)
For such a small book this has a lot of good info in it. I somewhat disagree with one of the reviewers that the drawings in this book are too sketchy. It's true, some are sketchy (like you might see in a comic book or casual drawing), but some are very realistic. I wanted this book to help me draw trees better, because landscape drawing books often don't show how to draw tree foliage in enough specific detail for me. I don't want to draw extremely realistic, life-like trees, but rather good semi-realistic trees to be used in the background or just to draw for fun, and this book is great for that. Give it a shot. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Great instructions and examples, but very few pages,

This review is from: Drawing Trees (Paperback)
I was surprised at how much they packed into this book. The examples, steps and instructions are very well done, but I have another series of how-to-draw books, one of which is for trees, and it has more than twice the pages in it with the same amount of information on each page. The author is a very talented artist, but I wish the book were twice as thick.

This review is from: Drawing Trees (Paperback)
This drawing books gives you the instructions you need to start and finish a pretty good drawing. If you draw almost everyday with this instruction book you will become a better artist. Some artists have natural talent. Some learn with practice. Either way, this book gives both types of artist the direction they need. A must have book. Soon you will be taking your own pictures and drawing the trees like an expert. What is the next step? Learning how to paint trees.
