## Description

This guided sketchbook unlocks your artistic potential through hands-on practice, teaching drawing fundamentals with a structured, step-by-step approach.

Review: Excellently organised step-by-step drawing workbook , highly recommend - One of the best books on the market in my opinion to walk you through drawing techniques quite simply with a positive 'can do' mood in the workbook, using pencil, pens, charcoal. I found an inexpensive set of felt tips with different size tips, easily in a local flying tiger. Jake Spicer has thought of everything including advice on your seating posture, but remains light and always encouraging. Really excellently laid out book with blank pages and plenty of prompting texts to show you where to 'test your pens', or leave blank, or 'practice here'. This is what I like, it helps. Organised. I didn't steam through the book, it provides hours and hours of practice and am on charcoal so need to get some. It is very fun, covers drawing objects, shadowing techniques, views and perpective, moving figure drawing etc This is done systematically. Having always been able to draw by copying, it gently moves you on. Yes the elastic closure comes off and was not useful, but drawing will help you calm down about this :) Absolutely recommend, love the book, would definitely buy another in the series.
Review: this book looks really nice, it has a simple look in a lovely ... - So first, this book looks really nice, it has a simple look in a lovely colour. Their is a cut out on the right top and bottom with a band, you can use the band to hold the book shut, or as a bookmark to keep your place, great idea. Sadly for some reason they put a sticker on the band, sticking it to the book, and even being careful it tore some of the book cover and left a dark residue on the band - so feed back please the sticker is pointless and actually damages your product. The progression of the book, feels more catered to someone who has maybe been sketching / drawing a little before, a absolute beginner will get something out of the book, but it feels like a steepish curve. I bought some charcoal for one of the lessons, not really a medium I am interested in, and after the mess I made, pretty sure never will touch again. I can understand maybe wanting your readers to experiment, but that was not for me. The book is good, good points, observation, and lessons - just not for an novice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Collection of Hand Luggage-sized Art Classes For All
*by S***D on 17 June 2017*

I have been sketching and scribbling for maybe a few years now. It's mostly for fun, yet it's a sort of obsession as I do it wherever I go. I am always trying to improve, learn new techniques and understand where I'm going wrong and that's why I decided to try this book. I like to travel a lot and often find that's the time when I draw the most. I have taken this book with me on all my trips this year and every time I opened the book, I felt like I was being given a one-on-one art class from the man himself... Jake doesn't fit in my suitcase but this book did, and I learnt something new at every turn of a page. I can genuinely feel an improvement in my sketching technique and understanding. Specifically, I now take more time to think about composition, proportion, not making such heavy marks on the paper, and using negative space. This book would suit you if you are an absolute beginner who perhaps doesn't know where to start, or if you're a fanatic sketcher like myself, who wants to improve yet hasn't properly studied drawing, except for the odd short course or class here or there. I like the range of subjects covered in this book, from landscape to hands to pots and pans, encouraging use of different techniques such as subtractive tone and hints on how to build your perceptual skills. Jake also talks you through trying out different materials, including charcoal and ink, I had only ever used pencil in my drawings up until then! That's why this book was perfect for me, and I strongly recommend it to anyone who loves to draw or who has always wanted to.
