This delightful book ticks many boxes. Anyone interested in drawing will find it informative, but it tends toward over simplicity, giving the reader a few tips on drawing, highlighting, shading, and the use of erasers to enhance, correct, or subdue your drawings. The book also provides the reader with a mini-guide to many natural, historic, and artistic sights and structures in the world. It also provides interesting trivia about the drawn site, sometimes contradicting beliefs or assertions. The world tour springs around without rhyme or reason, giving the trip added mystery.
As an amateur pencil pusher, I appreciate the simplicity and clean lines of the drawings. It serves well as a well of inspiration. I found my fingers itching to grasp a pencil or block of charcoal and try my hand at filling a blank page of paper.
It provides the reader with an abridged tour of the world in a few simple strokes. The sites I’ve visited are brought instantly to memory and the sites hitherto unvisited are instantly calling to me. This book was richly illustrated by Rebecca Warfel. Although I wouldn’t categorize them as great works of art, they did perform their tutorial function admirably. I was more than pleased to see that my adopted country of Holland was represented in the last drawing.

Learning to Draw through Architecture from Around the World This is another book that I got for Kindles from Amazon. I got it either very cheap or free. I planned on using last year for Geography and Art but never got to it, other books got there first. So over the weekend, I reread the book and decided it was getting used this week. I know that my girls will love it.

Inspiring but not what I expected
Interesting. I expected landscapes not buildings. All though I did enjoy the history. Inspired me to get out my artist Tools and try my hand at these historic places.

A Plus - This was a new and refreshing take on learning to sketch with the added bonus of introducing the reader to many of the major world landmarks in a very diverse range of cities, national parks, and religious centers. There is also some pretty good tutorials on how to sketch.
