Book Reviews of Pencil Sketching, 2nd Edition

Book Review: Great for beginners or those returning to sketching
Summary: 4 Stars

I was recommended this book by an instructor and I was not disappointed. It focuses on physical sketching technique (great for beginners/people returning to sketching) and a casual but effective style that is perfect for quick landscape/plant sketches. Not intimidating at all!
