This is a different one for me and I am enjoying it. I have never considered myself artistic, but I was very curious about this book. I enjoyed the images of different artists' work that are included. They are beautiful and I will be regularly flipping the pages to enjoy the pictures. The guidance provided about starting a daily drawing practice is clear and practical and I found it motivational. It will be useful to those just beginning as well as to those seeking inspiration for their already established daily practice. I especially found the Starter Kits to be useful as a way to get started and I plan to use them. I even made a first attempt at the daily practice and this book is providing the inspiration and guidance for me to continue.

Whether you are looking to start drawing daily or are looking for inspiration to continue their daily practice I recommend adding this book to your collection.
