Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Even an intermediate student, in an art class, would struggle with this text. You are not given clear instructions, you are just given expertly rendered pictures that if you are a beginner you have no chance at all of duplicating. I should have known it was a loser when it started out teaching you to draw a coffee cup without telling you you should have a coffee cup in front of you to draw. You were meant to just follow their exceedingly difficult instructions that leave you frustrated, demoralized, and ready to put down your pencil forever. Shame on these people for putting this book out, just to make themselves feel like hot shot artists and leave the rest of us in the dust. I'm an absolute beginner, I believe I can learn to draw, but not with this poorly done book. To say it is for absolute beginners and the title is misleading to the point of being false advertising. I feel cheated. These people are dishonest. I wish them well in their Rembrandt quality art that no beginner has a prayer of duplicating.
