Made me want to draw

The author's friendly tone with a touch of humor was engaging. He made it seem so easy and that all I needed was to pick up my pen and paper and get started. I'll be sharing this book with my homeschool students.

The author clearly had experience of learning from scratch. Other than good content, useful insights and easy to understand language, I really liked the tone. It felt more like a friend walking you through steps than someone "teaching" you (on the traditional stuff.

I am hoping to keep an eye out for his future books. Thank you for the excellent work!

Sketchy

Although I thought the sketches of the photos looked better than the photos themselves in every case, I found the book useful.

Great book.

I have been sketching for a long time and became discouraged. These are great reminders and the encouragement is welcome.

Easy to Understand

Get-Set-Sketch takes sketching instructions and breaks them down into easy to grasp concepts. This how an art teacher should explain their craft.
