5.0 out of 5 stars Best portrait tuition book I've read, 21 Nov 2001
This is quite simply inspiring; the drawings in the book are nothing short of brilliant. I defy anyone who picks up this book and looks through the first few pages to put it down. He really makes you want to get on with your drawing and I really have improved dramatically! His method of teaching is easy to follow, he gives details of all the materials needed and guides you from start to finish. I thoroughly recommend this book.
