This is one of many books I checked out when I started teaching myself to draw. I think it helps to explore different approaches to art instruction and this was one I found useful.

I decided to take up sketching as a hobby. I found this book informative, but I would have liked more information on drawing. It seems like most books I've looked into so far have a brief section on drawing and a large section on painting. This book was no different.
