I loved this book. I recommend it to anyone looking to learn how to draw. My favorite was the flamingos since I have a special place in my heart for them. The only problem is that I cant draw for the life if me. I'm not an artist but with this book I felt I could do it. They came out pretty good for having now drawing ability. I felt the steps were pretty easy to follow. Even if you know you cant draw worth a darn I still suggest trying it. I found it to be very fun and it proved to me that I could draw something that actually comes out looking like the animal I intended it to be. It was great to do in my spare time when I didnt want to really do anything. The selection to draw is very nice.
