Ratings and reviews

Simply amazing. I was terrible at drawing and I loathed any task that involved it before. But this book has really helped me a lot. I went from drawing stickman to full on manga characters withjust this back. This is really helpful. Highly recommended and very simple to follow. As the title suggests this is perfect for beginners. Kudos to the authors because this has really helped me get started. Thank you so much.

I started laughing when I got to the end of the sample. Draw some circles, some lines then BAM draw like you know how to draw. 😂

Free sample is very good. Better than most. Might even be worth the asking price.
