This book was exactly what i was looking for - a whole bunch of pencil demonstrations by a good artist.But when it arrived I was disappointed.The problem?Its SMALL.The internal pages are only 6" x 9" - that's just a little larger than a DVD case!And on average there are 3 demonstration drawing steps per page.This means that on average each drawing is only about the size of a deck of cards.Not all demonstration drawings are this small, but the majority are.Pencil work is mostly about learning strokes. In some of the drawings the hundreds of very thin strokes are so small you cant even see how they are applied! This is not always the case, cause some drawings are closeups. But it happens enough to be frustrating.The worst case is a demonstration called Flower Pots. There are 3 vases, two are blue and white mottled china glaze. The text only says "Using small circular strokes layer the two pots with random areas of (lists colors)." And the drawing is so small you cant even see how the strokes are being applied! You just see a blue and white mottled vase.On the positive side there are a good number of steps for each demonstration - maybe an average of 10. The demonstrations have a good subject variety and methods coverage. Although none of them are Wow! quality (like the glass marbles on the cover of another pencil book. They are more learning exercise quality, which is appropriate for this kind of book. And the book has lay-flat ring bindings. It also comes with a 55 minute demonstration DVD video which is nice. The first third of the book has your standard decent stuff on general pencil techniques and materials. But I bought this for the demonstrations section - and that is where the problem lies.
