Bought this as a gift for my 8 year old sister at Christmas, along with a drawing set for beginners. Great little book! Really detailed but not over complicated.

A Beginner Artist's Appraisal
7 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
This book appealed to me in its straight forward manner of presenting drawing to a beginner. Johnson has a chatty way of explaining her techniques that makes the excercises fun to do. She has included a broad spectrum of subject matter including animals, buildings, people, etc. I found the book easy to follow and very helpful and would recommend it for any artist's library.

Good for Start ...
23 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
This book is not really a drawing instruction, but it has a lot of practical tips. It's easy to follow, pictoral and it contains no wordy explanation which will confuse the readers even before they begin to draw!)
The writer gave examples of 'loose drawing' in various themes, a good start for drawing from life.

Almost exactly what I'm looking for
22 July 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book for absolute beginners who are not sure if they can draw a ballon on a string but want to. It is a very easy read that encourages you to pick up paper and pencil and start drawing now. The instructions are simple to follow and include technique for drawing that I have found missing in other titles. I just wish it were longer/covered more techniques AND included "other stuff" like how to keep your sketches from smearing in your sketch book, care of pencils, composition, etc. I suppose if it covered everything it wouldn't just be a "First Steps" book.
