Aspiring Artist and Designer said AMAZING BOOK, but need a foundation in drawing. For grahite not colour pencil.. I loved this book, it is a great book to understand the craft and how to get good at it. I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn. Excellent information on pencils, what they do, how they work and how to use them. This is for the artist who want their art to look real, and not by the charm of hand drawn techniques. Really hard lessons but you can do them over and over until you get them right and you learn A LOT!!! As stated, you need a solid foundation in drawing and perspective and some knowledge in graphi.
