Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Not for the beginner. There is some good instruction, but the ABSOLUTE beginner needs at least one drawing course before tackling this book. Preferably two. Also, it has too much information about tools in the intro. An absolute beginner only needs paper, pencil, and instruction about drawing free hand. Circles, lines, squares... cubes, cylinders, pyramids... then some object with step-by-step instructions. This book skips sooooo many steps!! My husband wants to learn to draw and I got this book, trusting the title. Never again!! Read the reviews! He cannot draw from this book any more than he can explain particle physics. And I'm not going to be his teacher... that's a bad deal for a wife!! I'll be reading reviews from now on.
