My Review

The publisher was kind enough to provide me with a copy of this book to review. All opinions are my own and honest.

I am a beginner artist.... very beginner. I often require a LOT of hand holding and step-by-step instructions. This book gives a very basic overview of the techniques and some step-by-step guides but in my opinion there are not enough. It provides a guide for very specific characters but does not give enough inspiration for creating your own. It is definitely a good starting point for getting the basics and the feel for the art but I just wish it had more for me to use to create my own.​
