It's has everything thing that an beginner artist has to know about sketching... The book is really nice... And fat too..and I got it for a great deal... I recommend this book for every single beginner artist out there ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice book *by N***N on 18 August 2018* I liked the book very much, it covers almost all the topic in sketching ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good for overview. *by R***R on 5 May 2020* No in-depth discussion available. It is good only for revision purposes, for a beginner this book will not lead anywhere when it comes yo human scale, basics, proportions and detailing. Its more pf an over view for-exam preparations. ## Frequently Bought Together - Complete Book of Drawing: Essential Skills for Every Artist - How to draw and think like a true artist: A 30-day Drawing Guide - From the Fundamentals to Step-by-Step Instructions with Detailed Illustrations and Comprehensive Explanations - Perspective Made Easy (Dover Art Instruction) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/120891410-complete-book-of-drawing-essential-skills-for-every-artist](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/120891410-complete-book-of-drawing-essential-skills-for-every-artist) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
