I always think of Lee Hammond first. Her books are clear and give step by step instructions for beginners and slightly beyond. She gives plenty of example to follow. Her layouts are great. This book on color pencil drawings is no exception. I would buy her work before any other drawing instructor.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good for beginners. easy to understand and followBy C. BlochA great book for beginners. Easy to follow. and understand and gives great demonstrations to be able to practice with.My only wish. is that the book were spiral bound. making it easier to stay open flat. Im picky about buying art instruction books sight unseen. having been burned too many times only to find the book is more advanced than I was looking for. or that the author has a different style of teaching and it isnt clear and concise. This won is one Im happy I purchased!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
