This book is just perfect if you want to learn to draw or to improve your skills. Each lesson comes with great step-by-step explanations accompanied with beautiful illustrations. The variety of topics and examples for the reader to practice is amazing. --Carolina Jaramillo I have read dozens of drawing how-to books over the years, and they've always been the same--helpful, but dull. Rizza completely turns this genre on its head. While speaking in a voice that is both relatable and entertaining, she also manages to give you drawing tutorials of fun and interesting subjects that you'd actually want to draw. Not your typical art class still life that would be thrown in the trash after completion. Rizza's tone, techniques, and subject matter are extremely agreeable for a teenage audience who wants to hone drawing skills. --Samantha Faella, Social Media Strategist The Easy Drawing Book for Teens is great for those artists who have the basics down and would like to further develop their skill sets. Teenage artists are given practical advice on how to advance technically through a series of clearly thought-out exercises. A great blend of nuts and bolts and drawing advice while advancing each artist's creativity! Highly recommended. --Edward Murr, College Art Teacher This book demystifies the process of learning how to draw through helpful step-by-step breakdowns and great visual examples of portraits, still life setups, animals, and more. Angla Rizza does an incredible job coaching all of the fundamentals of drawing through fun, easy-to-approach projects and covers the most important tools that budding artists can use to make confident, beautiful artwork! --Lindsay Nohl, Faculty Member at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design and Founder of Light Grey Art Lab art gallery
