Fantastic condition. The book is a must-have for any aspiring artist.
by M Carr
When a book calls itself the ‘complete course’ it is giving the reader a lot of expectations. This book does live up to a high standard and covers a wide encyclopaedia type of knowledge of how to draw and what to draw with. It is not an art course and I must admit I was expecting a week 1, week 2 type style to this when seeing the cover. As someone who teaches concept art I found this a good book to delve into rather than one to read from front to back. There are great exercises and images in this book and its look and feel is that of a reference book rather than a teaching tool. That’s not saying it’s not teaching, just that you need to use not rely on the book. One for the shelves (or to take off the shelves and use)-yes, but one to use alongside other books.
