This book is a great read on techniqueBy Red RobbinThis book is a great read on technique. It may be a little over the head of a true beginner. Before purchasing this book I would recommend checking out the authors youtube videos first as his speed and technique in the videos are similar to those found in the book. This is definitely a great book to have on the shelf as reference.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good book.By JDHThis book provides a lot of helpful techniques for drawing (almost) photo quality pictures. Its a bit more technical than an art training book. It sort of stitches together drawing and drafting. That said; if you want to put this technique to the test; you will need to invest in more than paper and pencils. This is a book for someone (like me) who can make a career out of any project and by that I mean; to spend a lot; a lot; a lot; of time on minute details. If; you are going to go headlong into this technique; be prepared to order a lot of supplies. carries most.
