5.0 out of 5 stars People & Portraits (Drawing in Color) by Lee Hammond, February 22, 2006
By 
Jeff (Ohio Valley) - See all my reviews
This review is from: People & Portraits (Drawing in Color) (Paperback)
Excellent book - especially for those just learning the art form. An excellent adjunct to Ms. Hammond's books on drawing with graphite. Helps the beginning artist make the transition from grayscale to color.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Art Instructor Ever!, March 4, 2008
This review is from: People & Portraits (Drawing in Color) (Paperback)
I have learned so much from Lee Hammond! She is the best illustrator, telling you what you need, what paper to use and how to use all your tools of any book that I have ever read. I am trying to buy ALL of her books. She leaves NO details out! It is almost like being in one of her classes. Thank you Lee Hammond!

4.0 out of 5 stars IF you like this technique, May 8, 2008
This review is from: People & Portraits (Drawing in Color) (Paperback)
I had heard that it's always best to see if you like the art in the book before learning how to create a similar style. This is a great book if you like the style personally. I, however, do not. I prefer the MUCH more difficult style where the skin tones look buttery smooth but I like the book anyway as it's always helpful to know more technique whether you ever use it or not. So, if you like the style, you'll LOVE the book as it's well-explained and demonstrated!
