I have 0 talent in drawing. In fact, I have no talent in anything artistic like that. But I still found this instructive and interesting, though some steps could have been more detailed.

Wasn't that helpful.

At least it was only $2.99. Too general. I won't be referring to it. I have nothing more to say.

Learning to draw simple and complex shapes. I like the format of the book. The artist shows us how to complete a drawing from beginning to end.
