Imagine.......
This is a very well put together book and well thought out and copiled. I recommend this book for the beginers and for the other advanced people that have skills but never took this journyof the imaganation. It is a type of meditation when you get into this cool book. If you are new to drawing, when you go into this special kind of meditation, you will find the images are not that of roses, cats, dogs. Rather you seem to go to a place that is for the abstract and dream like drawings. It is very fun and it also puts you in a good mood when you are done. You will, 9 times out of 10, draw amazing art. If you know how to do many types of media such as charcol, colored pencils. I use high end macanical pencils for my type of dawing. In this state of the imaganation, I find my drawings are more substantial and the results are quite skillful too. Pros: You will be forced to go into this meditational state. Maybe forced is not the word. You are carefuly lead down the road of your unique style of drawing and you will love the images you get. All Drawing is fun and highly educational when to study this book. Cons: You must sometimes have to concentrate very hard to reach this meditative state. If you fail to go there, shut the book and go back to it later. Your mind must be in a meditative stae before you start drawing. Seems like a lot of trouble to prepare you mind for the purpose of drawing a picture. I end up with many drawings. My deawing skill is in the mid-range to advanced. I also meditate when I am not drawing. Meditation is very important for me and when you mix it up with drawing, your art will shine with many images. Buy this book and learn how to meditate and drawing together. Wow what a cool mix!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Not for beginners
It has alot of great ideas, more like a text book with examples of other artists. Hardly anything on detailing or techniques. Definitely a book for accomplished artists who are blocked or in a rut and need to think out of the box.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
