Title: I'm a beginner
Review: I'm a retired engineer and have recently chosen art as a hobby. I bought several how-to-do-it books including this one. I found Betty Edwards' book interesting and motivating but it hasn't proved to be a significant source in my learning process. Rather, Ferdinand Petrie's book Drawing Landscapes in Pencil and the wonderful books by Lee Hammond have become my tutors. With them I have made surprising progress in drawing. I can highly recommend them to anyone who wants to learn to draw.
