I like to draw as a hobby but would like to improve my creations. This book has provided some methods, descriptions of how to execute them and tips and tricks on how to make it easier. It has some great basics that I admittedly lacked myself as I just jumped into doing it as a sort of therapy for myself. It does have a limited variety, however. If anything, I feel more could have been added.
