Drawing for the Absolute Beginner (ABSOLUTE BEGINNER ART) Paperback – Illustrated, February 13, 2018

Nice

It looks like it will be easy to learn new techniques

This disappointed me a bit as the title implied an absolute beginner would learn something from using this book. I found excercises for using a pencil, but other than line drawing, I didn’t find useful drawing excercises. Someone with more skill than I might find this more useful.

This is extremely helpful in starting out with the basics. Drawings are turning out a lot better, and more realistic. Thank you!

I can do this! The instructions are helpful with many illustrations.

The artist who wrote this book understands how to dissect drawing into its simplist techniques.

There were some things I was able to take from this book and use, but about 98% of it has nothing to do with the basics of learning to draw, and just covers different styles without more than a page on how those styles are done. The first 15 or so pages cover a few basic things, and that's where it ends. What examples there are in the book for basic concepts of drawing are so complicated, it's impossible to practice. If I may be so honest, the book comes across more as a vehicle for the author to show case her work rather than an actual teaching tool.I'm going to be looking at other books for actual beginners, and no, I wouldn't recommend buying this book if you're actually a beginner.

Step by step instructions to help anyone get started drawing. Shows how to draw all sorts of things by using simple shapes.
