The last time I had drawn a figure was as a 10 year old boy. That drawing was of Abe Lincoln. Now, at the age of 37, I decided it would be fun to draw with a pencil again. This book was the first one, I bought this year, and am I glad I did. It leads you step by step the process of drawing a lifelike figure, from fixtures, to animals, cars, barns, etc. After completing my first drawing using the book, I was amazed at the result, and so is every one who has looked at it. I completed the second drawing with similar results, again, of a quality we could hang n our home and be proud of. The book tells you what pencil type to use, how to use it, with plenty of examples. If you are after a step by step book, that will give you lifelike results, I highly reccomend this book.

I am beginning to investigate the world of art. I am beginning with pencil art. This book has wonderful written paragraphs of tips that would make doing this kind of art easier. The step by step examples of art items the artist did are very helpful. I totally appreciate this book. It was at first loaned to me by a neighbor. I liked it so much that I had to buy one for myself. I treasure this book. I will always refer to it for pencil art. Claudhop

Great price. Just a penny. Thanks. Giggles 66

Maybe it was just me, but I didn't feel the book provided adequate instruction for getting beyond the line drawing stage. It's way too advanced for a beginning artist or someone trying to get in the swing of drawing again.

Wonderful way to spend a cool day. Curl up with a pencil, good teaching book, and a drawing pad while the soup is cooking on the stove.

Really happy with transaction. Received exactly as described. Would purchase from this vendor again!
