Como en la descripción
Francamente en cuanto al contenido no podría opinar aún no he empezado a leerlo pero lo vi un poco y se ve interesante. Viene en Inglés, en el caso de no saber este idioma posiblemente batalles un poco, si sabes algo de ingles como yo será muy intuitivo( bueno tomando en cuenta de que solo leí poco). Y si viene muy de bolsillo muy práctico para traerlo de en la mochila o bolsa. Francamente para mí fue una buen compra :) espero que para los demás también

Most helpful and practical tips in my extensive library
This is one of the easiest to follow and incredibly helpful books on sketching and is great for cross disciplines - it will help with drawing skills and conposition. I bought the book in two formats snd find the Kindle version much easier to use and love having the ability to zoom right in on the images to see the details being examined and explained in each point’s text. It’s like finding that one teacher who understands how your brain learns and then tailors the lessons for you. That’s how Stephanie Bower’s 101 Sketching Tips reads for me. Absolutely improved my sketching within the first 25 tips. I’ll be buying copies for gifts for my young nephews who enjoy making “art” with Aunt T.
