This book shows you how to simplify your drawings. You break down the subject into basic shapes like circles and triangles which later become body parts like a head or claws. I found the chart of how to create different textures very helpful and a great resource to look back at.
I was amazed at how easy it was when you followed the step by step instructions. I would have been overwhelmed if I had tried to draw the creatures from the end drawing. But breaking it down it into steps and leaving the details for the end makes the process much easier.
I like to paint more than I like to draw. However, I think the principals I learned about shadows and highlights will help me in my painting. As you are drawing you realize how well-placed shadows will help show proportion and depth.
The last portion of the book covers added color to your drawings. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning to draw.
I received this book from NetGalley.
