Drawing for the Absolute & Utter Beginner

Comprehensive. Easy to follow exercises. Would recommend for a beginner or for anyone who wants to remind themselves of the foundation skills of drawing.

I really enjoyed this book. After many years of not drawing at all it was so helpful. All the exercises build step by step. You'll soon be very satisfied with your achievements. Highly recommended

This book is as it says really good for beginners and has helped me no end its simple to understand and after you have read some of the pages and tried it out on paper you feel really good about yourself

Brought this for my mum for Christmas day and she loved it and found it very helpful with her drawings

Book arrived in perfect condition , not sure id say it was for beginners, if u wanted a step by step guide in my opinion this is not the book for u , arrived before eta absolutely nothing wrong with the seller they sent exactly what I ordered promptly

Looks great for a beginner. Can't wait to make a start. Fast service.

Good for those starting out.

very good book bought for my husband

Came in good condition

No nos pareció muy útil para aprender a dibujar, demasiado avanzado para quien iba dirigido. Lo hemos devuelto tan pronto ha sido sacado de la caja.

For any beginner who wants to learn to draw (or take up any form of art), this book is a must! Unquestionably full "five star". I am a 70+ yr old newly retired lawyer, who wants to use a new part of his brain. I've never attempted any form of art (unless you want to count mechanical drawing in my 7th grade "shop" class - a dubious precedent). Claire's book is a masterpiece for someone like me. This slim volume (160 pages) is very well-organized and lucidly written, and filled with extremely helpful explanations, tips, exercises and sample drawings. Moreover - and this is important for an "art beginner" -- the materials are presented with an understanding and sense of humor about the frustrations to be encountered as the "new world" unfolds. As they say, "try it, you'll like it", especially at the offered price (which I think is a ridiculous bargain for the value delivered). But, watch out - your "interest" may become your "passion". Mine did. Well ,

It is an excellent book.Many art websites recommend it. So do I.

I bought a few different books on learning to draw before finding this one. I wish i would have found this one first! This book is so user friendly and encouraging for the person just starting out. The drawings in it are really great examples of other beginners work, and the book doesn't over analyze everything so much, like some of the other drawing books do. It simplifies the learning process, but still explains everything very well. I really like the layout of the book and all the examples and drawings are very encouraging. If you like books that are not complicated, (like myself) and give good basic instruction than this is the one to get! She keeps it simple, so that you dont feel overwhelmed. You just wanna jump in and get started with this book! The other books i have are also good, but this is the one that really motivated me the most, and keeps me drawing every day. she is an excellent art teacher. I cant wait to get her painting book too!
