Ready to make incredible drawings with your pencil?
If you are someone that is interested in pencil drawing as a beginner, this book offers you the basic knowledge you will need to get you started. You can read and learn the basics that are needed to become a master in pencil drawing in less than 30 minutes. One of the great things about drawing is you can do it pretty much anywhere and on anything. The best way to get into drawing is with learning the basics of pencil drawing. Once you have practiced and explored this level you can expand your talents into different areas using different mediums in which to express yourself artistically. You do not have to go into any great expense in tools to get you started, all you will need is a pencil, paper, eraser, and a ruler. You probably already have these items lying around your house somewhere.
You may be someone that has trouble with drawing things and would like to learn how to improve your drawing skills. It can feel uncomfortable if you are asked to express yourself in a visual way, especially if you do not consider drawing something you are good in. Many people have the belief or idea that drawing is a talent that cannot be taught as a learned skill. But contrary to what some believe drawing can indeed be taught as it is highly learn-able. Anyone can become a master of pencil drawing if they have patience, dedication, and perseverance. But we all have creativity within us, some of us need some extra guidance to show us how to release it.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
David Adams spends as much time as possible in the Australian bush, honing survival skills, gold, treasure fossicking, and hunting feral animals throughout Australia. He served as an Officer in the Australian Army Reserve during the post-Vietnam era. Dave has trained alongside members of the United States Marine Corps and Special Air Services SAS personnel. Serving his last two years in the A.D.F as a Platoon Commander Military Police provided him with exposure to law enforcement working closely with his civilian counterparts in the Queensland Police Service. Dave relies on this real-life experience to provide him with authentic characters, settings, and a knowledge of military equipment and procedures. He continues to travel the world in search of exciting settings and characters that he hopes will transport his readers to these exotic places while adding a reality to his books.

Jumped from shading of a sphere to portraiture which was a bit too much of a jump. Up until that point it was going very well although more examples would have been useful throughout.

Il n'y a que quelques pages et rien sur le dessin
Que quelques pubs de livres sur la phtographie et un autre sur le crochet (je crois). Mais c'est tout.
Bizarre!!!

Pure Trash -- David Adams Cannot Seriously Call This a Book
It's not clear whether David Adams can draw much less teach anyone else how. There are very few drawing examples and where a picture would work far better than a wordy explanation, you get a wordy explanation.
Unfortunately, his writing is as at least as bad as his drawing. Forgive me, the writing isn't bad, it's HORRENDOUS. The "book" is filled with misspellings, cliches that he's misused and muddled concepts that are repeated several times. He hardly gets down to business before he gets hung up all over again reminding you that you too can draw. It's like he's trying to convince himself.
He does explain some concepts, although not quite adequately. This is very reminiscent of fourth grade writing where the teacher told you to write five pages on a topic and you only had enough material for half of a page. So, you faked it.
Well, David has faked this book. He's trying to make a buck. He has no talent for writing, no talent for teaching, and it's anybody's guess if he has any talent for drawing (although he does actually know the correct names for drawing concepts).
The real joke comes at the end. David puts a plug in for another one of his books. This one is on photography and he has self-described as "brilliant". He's also included an excerpt from the photography book as a teaser. Unfortunately, even the short teaser is horrendously written.
David, give it up. There must be something you're actually good at.

Very useful!
This book contains a lot of useful information about drawing, but what makes it different from the rest is that it starts with a little History about art and the way it developed over the centuries. It states that if a person wants to be an artist, it's completely possible but it also says you can't just jump into it and create a masterpiece in 5 minutes. The book talks about lines, shapes, negative space, perspective etc. The drawing exercises are very good and have a basic supplies list so you're all set to start. The most original thing in the book, in my opinion, is that it teaches you ways to hold your pencil the right way, something many aspiring artists don't know. Highly recommended to everyone who wishes to start making art.

Decent
Good BASICS. Lots of condensed information I learned in my first class. I liked this book a lot for a crash course.

Stinks
Hated it. No pictures of anything substantial to give you a better idea of what they are meaning in the book.

Super basic
Super basic content. No examples. Just another ebook written for a quick buck. Don't waste your money. No value at all. Bad read.

Aimed at the real "Beginner"
If you are a "Beginner" as far as drawing or sketching, this book might be just what you need. if you are beyond the Beginning stage, continue looking.
