Review: Excellent as described - Nice book, easy to follow sketching for illustrations to support a story Review: Good book for beginners or advanced - I bought all three books in this series, I think the author does a good job of teaching quick sketching as well as 5 minute sketching. I disagree politely with those that say beginners can’t use these books. It’s also got a lot of tips for advanced artists who may want to try to simplify their work and try something new I have started a 5 minute sketch club and it was based on these books. Many of the people are new to sketching and these books have been very helpful in learning techniques and a place to start. They also show a huge range of styles, encouraging people who don’t draw ‘conventionally’ to draw in a way that suits them. These books are good at breaking things down to the basic building blocks of art. I didn’t find that much overlap in them, I think a master book containing all of the series would be a cool idea if it wasn’t overpriced. Maybe for beginners without other people around it can be daunting to just pick up a pencil or other medium and start drawing. The 5 min sketching is good to get going and to quell your inner critic. Just draw! Great tips on fast textures, using charcoal, drawing crowds etc it’s a lot of fun! ## Features - Item Trademark: FIREFLY BOOKS - manufacturer: Firefly Books - Item Weight: pounds, pounds, 0.82, 0.82 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #155,570 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #130 in Arts & Photography Study & Teaching #154 in Figure Drawing #31,635 in Higher & Continuing Education Textbooks | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 160 Reviews | ## Images ![5-Minute Sketching -- People: Super-Quick Techniques for Amazing Drawings - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PHfmgOeOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent as described *by T***A on 26 April 2022* Nice book, easy to follow sketching for illustrations to support a story ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book for beginners or advanced *by V***S on 31 July 2020* I bought all three books in this series, I think the author does a good job of teaching quick sketching as well as 5 minute sketching.
