Though I agree with other reviewers that this book isn't exactly for the absolute beginner, it does go over some helpful points such as seeing forms, measuring, value drawing, etc. I particularly enjoy the section which shows you how different way of shading and drawing textures, eg. how to control yours strokes so that they look textures of a tree, rooftop, grass. Overall, good drawing book for people who have attempted to draw for fun or doodle in the past.

Good for the very Beginner

Let me begin by stating that I am a fairly decent hobby artist that has been self taught in all my endeavors. That being said, over the years I have found many good art books that were "for beginners" that really were a bit more advanced than the title would make you believe. This is not one of those books.

The book was a simple step-by-step kind of guide for those that want to make the journey from the awkward cartoonish drawings we learn as children to a more realistic and satisfying sketch of items around you in the world. It truly is a beginner book and the bare bones to beginning sketches with observation.

I personally gathered no new information reading this; but I do not think giving a poor rating would be fair since it was decently written and had plenty of example pictures along the way. Just giving others like myself a fair warning. ...more

I enjoyed reading this book. I liked the exercises and I also liked the tips about how to draw grass, rock, stone walls, wooden fence, an planner, car. I think I under stand more about perspective. And the horizon line. Now I just need to draw more. No problem.

I really liked this book. My husband is an artist so my reading this book drove him nuts. However, a lot of the exercises helped me improve my sketches and my hubby approved. Next up, still life practice.....

Wasn't for the Absolute Beginners. This book will help you when you learn how to be satisfied with your drawings. Definitely not for the beginner who is at first stage because it doesn't have basic or very basic part.

Top of all, it can help you in some way.

Finally a beginner book with detail!

I have been looking for a beginner drawing book that contained detailed explanations and step by step progressive instruction - Drawing for the Absolute beginner is what I have been looking for. Great information on shading and perspective. I like that I can draw along with the lessons. This book will stay in my reference section.
