Excellent teaching tool
Yes there is the traditional way for a young person or adult to learn to draw in 3 D but drawing 3D with cartoons is fun. I remember Mark from over 25 years ago when he was invited to speak at the teachers national art convention because he was such a popular learning tool. In fact this book has an excellent section for teachers. If you have a child or student who likes to draw this book is an excellent tool. It takes you from easy to difficult and is all step by step directions and work sheets. I have been teaching art for over 27 years and I still love to do the exercises myself as well as use it with students.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
