Those who are looking for basics of capturing portraits, pets and landscape drawing can benefit from this book. It even talk about charcoal drawing techniques.

Personally I think you need loads of talent and already an aptitude for drawing to really benefit from this book. This book is not '10 steps to do" drawing exactly even though thats what the author tried here to narrate through this book.

For those enjoy reading about art and it's details it can be found slightly entertaining. Personally these days I prefer watching YouTube videos in timelapse to learn about drawing than from the books.
