Excellent colored pencil book - comprehensive look at eight methods of working with the colored pencil. Features a lot of different styles from masters of the medium to architects, illustrators, fine artists, etc. I liked the fact that it had exercises at the back of each chapter for 3 levels of students - beginners, intermediate and advanced. It also covered a lot of subjects to draw like faces, animals, landscapes, still life, water, etc.
