My 16 year old nephew loves to draw and he’s pretty good at it. He wants to go to college for art & drawing once he graduates high school. As soon as I saw this book I knew it was perfect for him. To go along with the book I picked up a sketch pad, pencils, erasers and other drawing supplies for him. He had a birthday and this was the perfect gift! A few days after receiving the items he called me up (Face Time) to show me 3 sketches he was working on. Let’s just say this…This book is his new favorite! Great for teenagers and/or adults.
