2006-02-16 How to draw. .. somethings

Although easy to read it isn't easy to learn from and can stub out your excitement at drawing when you come across the word "assignments" at the end of every chapter (if your in college, you know what I mean!). These tasks include things like going out and drawing random people and things you see or from magazines. We all know that practise makes perfect but the tasks at time just seem very strange and not something I'd want to do.
The images in these books are for the most part uninteresting and yes i know that the book is "How to draw" but it would have been nice to see some colour as the whole book is in black and white, really not for children (especially as part of the book is on drawing naked people, mostly females).

Saying all this though the book is arranged into nice chapters and has certainly started to teach me how to look better. It wasn't a complete disapointment, but for serouis artists and those already with a solid skill this isn't the book for you.
