Excellant book. A great way for amateur artists to learn., October 29, 1996
Reviewer: A reader
I recieved a copy of your book through my art teacher, Mr. David Autry, at Fort Myers High School. Normally I only work with clay, but last year I drew a picture of an evil looking skull with three swords going through the top of its head. The color drawing of that won third place at an art show in town. I had also made a full sculpture of the skull out of clay, but I put brains on the top of its head, and veins at the side of its face. It turned out quite well and took second place at a state level Anyway, I decided that I wanted to go back to learning how to draw real looking portraits. I tried to draw a picture of my girlfriend, but I got stuck on the nose, so my art teacher gave me a few tips and let me borrow his copy of the book. I am glad he did, cause I personally think that for my first time doing portrait art, I did pretty good. Even my girlfriend, boss, and taecher were all impressed. If there are more books on the same things, that are just as good, I would be interested in hearing about them. I am very excited about my new talent that I have found, and like to be able to improve and better my skills that I have achieved. Shane E. Jones
