Marco Bucci has written an insightful, step by step way of honing your talents in drawing. I was a bit nervous to dig into this as all of the beautiful illustrations look top notch and very hard to do. As I read and absorbed the lessons I found it an easy read and began practicing bit by bit. He really takes each chapter and goes in depth with the learning and yet breaks it down into manageable chunks at the same time. He covers topics such as shapes, form and space and also covers character poses, shading and lighting and colour. The activities and assignments at the end of the chapter are really good and think focussing on those first would be good for beginners. More experienced artists could use this book as a reference book, going to the chapter they need, but it can also be read from start to finish while your skills improve.
Thank you to Netgalley, Rockport Publishers and Marco Bucci for allowing me to read the ARC. All opinions are my own.
