I really enjoyed this book it has very in-depth details on shading and various pencil mediums. The instructions are very clear even when explaining complex techniques and I found it extremely useful. I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review and I highly recommend it.

Modern Colored Pencil is a good text for new artists. The book covers everything from choice of pencils and paper to colour theory and finally examples which range from still life to figure drawing. The book is well set out and easy to follow and offers some good tips and recommendations, particularly if you are just starting out. I might have liked a little more detail here and there, but as an introductory text it covers all the basics and would be a worthwhile investment for those commencing their art journey.
