For university art students? Yes. For beginners and novices? Absolutely not.
This doesn't seem like a book for beginners; it conducts itself more like a textbook for a university art class (IE: advanced students literally looking to 'Master' the art) than a guide on the basics of drawing.
The focus of this book seems to be how to recreate or imitate the style of famous artists like Picasso, Rembrandt, Monet and others, in addition to styles of other artists that most novices probably have never even heard of (IE: Yhap, Seurat, Brueghel, Matisse,Cézanne, Modersohn-Becker, Tchelitchew, etc).
Personally, I found this to be very strange because most of them were painters, and yet the author tries to juxtapose impressionist, abstract, and cubist painting styles with graphite and charcoal medium -- in fact, at some points it seems as much a coffee table art book as a teaching aid; take the example photos.
At first, you begin with the standard nose. A page later, you are being ordered to begin experimenting with Picasso and Roualt -- the rest of the book is like this with other concepts. Might be good for established artists wanting to experiment their way through artist's block.
