This is a very handy guide that aims to increase the reader/user's 'personal satisfaction'. A lovely little book As much of a holiday companion or stocking stuffer as it is an office library staple. --Austin Williams" .

Peter Shahrokh said A great little book. This book gets down to the essence of live, line drawing. The author is extremely helpful in getting the reader past his fears by giving encouraging words and giving great examples. One can easily progress with his advice, and change one's attitude from being hesitant to celebratory. A great place to start if you want to get past initial personally-imposed restrictions. This book, above all things, teaches courage--courage to draw and courage to express.. not much in here "An Introduction" is an appropriate subtitle. Nice examples, layout and descriptions of fundamental sketching techniques for architects/landscape architects. However, this is more like a pamphlet than a book. You can devour it in an hour. It is useful to think about the concepts and ideas while sketching but I really do not see myself turning back to this book for technique or drawing solutions down the road.. Pen only please. Lyric Space editor Well written. I did all the studies. But if you're weak in proportions, like I am, then the book's fundamental idea, requiring the use of a pen not a pencil, makes success at this program rather hard. I need to be able to erase. Still I think the concise and accurate information is very good. I've got 20 books on drawing and wished I'd read this in the beginning of my search.
