Title: Not a helpful drawing book.
Review: Pencil Drawing Techniques by David Lewis is not really a helpful book for beginners and I support the other 1 star review. This book is simply an editor's collection of sections by various artists that might have been more effective in their own book settings. For instance, the section titled drawing animals might more accurately be titled drawings of animals because very little instruction is done for "how" to draw them. Some animals simply are presented as finished drawings with no step by step drawings at all.I already had several books by artists included here, and I would rather buy the original than excerpts. I would not have bought this book had I known its composition and will return it.
Is the review positive or negative?
