This book had more of what I was looking for. Techniques to use and examples of styles. I liked the chapter on how you can hold your hand for specific drawing tasks. I'll be referring to this for the next few weeks.

Great info. Some of the info was very advanced. Needed more detail in the steps of the drawing.
