One of the best and No-Nonsense books, i have come across, for anyone who is looking to start/improve on drawing. I am surprised that this is not a popular book already, it was just good luck that i stumbled upon this.

Author has broken down elements of drawing to such a fundaments levels that you find yourself saying - "Damn! That's easy." Book has a very hands-on approach and a natural progression of drawing techniques. I could see the improvement in my drawing in a very short time (days, if you will), as this book changes the way you think and approach drawing shapes. The book is short - 50 pages - and not a one time read, you need to keep referring it again and again as you practice the drawing on a daily basis.

I am grateful to the author 'Shoo Rayner' for putting up such an excellent book together, and I wish he writes a much detailed and in-depth version of the book.

A book that is friendly to read

That pretty much sums up how the book felt to read. Mr. Rayner's voice and personality are captured in this short but very useful book. I have been a frustrated at every attempt I tried to draw. This book felt like a friend was at my side to help. I only wished that it were longer. A great book for the beginner. Check out his YouTube channel and you will better understand.
