Aaria makes me believe I can draw anything! My children and students will really like the chapters on animals. I love how Aaria has included instruction on color at the very end to tie everything together. This book is as informative and encouraging as Aaria herself! This is the best drawing book I've seen. --Kate Perry of @paintingperrydise, artist This book is comprehensive in not only the drawing techniques but also the sheer number of projects and step-by-step drawing instructions provided. It really covers every aspect of drawing in a simple and concise manner, and I would recommend this book to anyone who feels overwhelmed by the thought of drawing! I got so much inspiration from it and I'm confident I'll be able to improve my skills. --Karin Newport of @ipadlettering, artist This book not only teaches the basics and foundations of drawing but also provides activities that can easily be accomplished from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this to anyone starting out, anyone who would like to get out of their comfort zones and try something new, or even to experienced artists who want a fresh take on different techniques and styles. --Grace Fr s n of @gracecallidesigns, lettering artist This book packs a wealth of useful information and techniques for anyone interested in learning how to draw or improve their drawing skills and is beautifully illustrated and very easy to follow along. The variety of themes and projects included will keep you learning for hours and hours all while having fun and getting inspired! --Jeannie Dickson of @JeannieDicksonDesigns, lettering artist
