Kitap harika ancak çevirisi kötü.

[Sıla Gündoğdu · Rating 5 out of 5]

Çizime giriş için önereceğim kitaplar arasında. Basit objeler, model ve perspektif konuları örneklerle ve çizim aşamaları gösterilerek açıklanmış. Özellikle yetenek sınavlarında oldukça faydalı olacağını düşünüyorum.

"The Complete Indroduction to Drawing" by Barrington Barber is a great choose for all who want to start drawing! Barber gives essential tipps of which pencil you could use. What I liked most about the book are the differences between the things that are easy to draw and the ones that are much harder.
