I found this book to be extremely helpful in learning to draw people. It is easy to draw what you think you see rather than what you actually see and whilst this book is encouraging you to draw people from simple shapes, it does give you the insight to take this new understanding of basic shapes to apply to real life drawing. I have struggled with drawing people accurately, so I found the use of simple shapes and explanation of proportion a really useful tool. I was impressed by how, with only a few simple lines, a concise drawing was created. My children also really enjoyed the premise of the book and I will be using it with them. Overall, I think this is a great book to encourage people to start drawing and I believe it has the ability to instil confidence in them so that they are able to move forward and draw more and more. The book also dips in to the use of colour and tone, explained in clear terms, even using a method to draw lines to explain where shading should go. So, in summary, a great book to encourage people into drawing people but may not be for everyone.
