Evaluated this book while looking for information about backgrounds and landscapes.

[Vicki · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is a good semi informative book. it tells you the basics about sketching materials and mediums, line and tone, perspective and proportion, composition and sketching,subjects for drawing,drawing figures and faces, mixing mediums, and drawing as preliminary studies and as finished art. I learned a lot of new things from the book as an artist. Its helpful for beginners who want to know more about art drawing and medium wise. Medium means material used for an art piece by the way.

After you get and go through "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain," (which I consider painfully essential if you are going to teach yourself to draw)--this book is the next in line. What a winner! If you were to actually go through and experiment with all the concepts and hints in the book, you could spend a year or more. It is something worth having.
