One day I was scrolling on Pinterest when an ad for this book caught my eye. I had been looking for art inspo to help me get out of my slump, and this pocket book was perfect! I’m in advanced art at my school, and I’ve been looking for other ways to improve my sketching skills. This book really helped me understand the basics of being a good artist, and I definitely recommend!!!
