As an artist, I recognize how difficult it is to put visual demonstrations into words. the author has done an excellent job of that, although I don't believe that this book is for beginners.

I recognize many of the techniques demonstrated and can appreciate the demonstrations using them. The book includes short but precise sections on supplies and materials and techniques. Next are demonstrations of studies of different types of animals. The author shows how to first start with a sketch, using the traditional way of building up the shape by utilizing geometric shapes, squares, circles, triangles, cones, cylinders ...etc. She also demonstrates how to use different media, pencil, pen and ink, pastels and watercolors.
