Drawing for Beginners: How to Draw and Shade for Realism

I bought this book because I really would like to learn to draw. This is a very useful book of drawing instructions which I am looking forward to putting into practice.

Not used it very often but there are some good things to have a go at

was not really impressed with this book, but it's ok

I can't understand why this book has received so many good reviews. With only a handful of drawing projects and printed with large text it has little to offer. The examples aren't great and I wouldn't recommend this for someone learning to draw. I've returned it for a refund and shall continue searching for a better quality manual.

This is the second book I’ve read from pencil artist, Jasmina Susak; Not only is she a fantastic artist, but she is a brilliant instructor as well! “Drawing for Beginners” is the perfect resource for those just getting into pencil drawing/sketching. Susak lays out everything you are going to need to get started, detailing the tool’s purpose and illustrating its usefulness. This book contains some great tutorials on shading and highlighting for realism. One that I found fascinating was Susak’s method for drawing shiny bangs; I’ve always had issues with making hair look realistic and this just helped me take my hair drawing game up a notch! “Drawing for Beginners” is full of great information for anyone trying to make their drawings look more realistic.

Good

Brilliant book of learning. Jasmina has such an incredible way of putting her book lessons in a format that is so unique and easy to follow and learn from

Not what I expected. It's a good book, but I feel it wasnt necessary to get.

Great step by step instructions Like this artist and teaching
