Review of DRAWING for the ABSOLUTE BEGINNER
I feel this is a good book for the beginner in that it shows some good basic procedures. Then it takes a leap into areas that may lead some beginners shaking their heads. Is it a good value? It depends on the price. The price for this book varies widely on the internet...must do your homework on this part.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
