Title: Full of Tips on How to Draw Poorly
Review: This book is substantive and comprehensive. Many techniques and exercises for building up skill are laid out and integrated into useful units that can be worked on in series or independently. However, the art style of Borgman is more like 1960's/1970's pamphlet and encyclopedia art. The pen work is loose and imprecise and the pencil work is quite sloppy.I ordered this book because I wanted to learn to be a technical and precise illustrator, but the sloppiness and outdated art style contained in this book do not help me much.I will have to send it back.
