Beginning Drawing Atelier: An Instructional Sketchbook

Really beautiful book , thoroughly recommend it

This book is like a curated, delightful adventure. I have bought other drawing books in the past but it left me a little frustrated trying to remember all the technicalities; bombarded with a lot of information.This feels very freeing and is delightful on every chapter. I actually started to enjoy the process of drawing and I feel so giddy and happy when a drawing comes together :)I highly recommend getting the physical copy as this is a sketchbook for you to work on.

This must be the best book for beginners - it covers the basic but fundamental principles of drawing: line, shape, volume, value, form and also has a chapter on portraits. The book is based on the principle that copying other artists’ work is one of the best ways to learn, and it actually works, at least for me. The book contains plenty of exercises so you will have a lot of opportunities to practice what you’ve learnt. You also don’t need fancy materials - some graphite pencils and a white polymer or kneaded eraser. Highly recommended.

Absolute amazing illustrations. But I expected more blank pages to draw by myself.

Lovely book to look at. Bought as a gift for my husband and he seems to be enjoying it and finding it helpful

Beautiful book. Well written and illustrated. Simply explained but contains much information. Book itself is lovely in size, quality and layout. Pleasure to have.

Great book with step by step instructions and beautiful drawings, good introduction to drawing.

Overall good, and I'm glad I bought it and worked through it, but I think it lacks a few crucial things. It will sound simplistic, unimportant but it doesn't give enough detail about what pencils to use, how to hold/ use them and how to render with them. I wonder if this is because the author just expects everyone to know these basics as she does etc. The exercises, and completing them in the book are good to do. Still glad I got it though.
