Fantastic!
This book explains some very difficult concepts in an easy way. It isn’t just a quick step by step, although there are many of these drawings as well. I’m really impressed! I think everyone should have this book as a reference. I wish some of the step by step images were larger, but that isn’t a major deterrent. One of my favorite drawing books, and I have many, is a Walter Foster book. Most of them are really good. That fave drawing book has some step by step of beautiful images, and I was able to make some decent drawings. The difference to this book is that this book shows the many concepts that are so important. The main drawing baselines that everyone should know. So, it is a must have. Then add some Walter Foster, and you are well on your way to fantastic work!
