My Take on the Book
This is a great book that allows you to learn techniques that will really help you to begin to paint people. Even if you have been doing this for a while you will learn from this book as I know that I did. The illustrations were fun and I loved how you are taught how to layer the art that you create. You are shown step-by-step what you need to do to be able to start creating people that you can be proud of. I am not an expert but I feel like I am getting there.
