[Karolina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think if people took this book very seriously, and did the exercises, they would actually develop their drawing skills very far. I like that this book doesn't superimpose any kind of set style (although it gives a lot of methods that make it seem like so).

I've picked up a few things from this book while reading it. I think the most important thing it emphasizes that looking is just as important as drawing. I personally think observation really is that important: it lets you freely use the information you know in your work, and conclusively make it more real.

Within a day of exploring this wonderful book I started seeing birds, dogs and trees in a new way as i have begun simply copying drawings from the book. Highly recommended.

Leslie always gets right to the heart of how to sketch. She makes it seem like anyone can do it.
