### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome book!
*by D***R on 19 October 2020*

A great book to learn from. I had never drawn a portrait. I simply had no idea about the methods to follow in order to create a likeable drawing. Above is simply a copy of one of the chapters from this book that states the approach and stages of portrait drawing, followed by valuable instructions by the author. If you have the patience and enthusiasm to go through the instructions, you can learn a lot from this book. This book is a compilation of all the separate books authored by Mr. Giovanni Civardi. He is one of the greatest artists and an instructor time has seen. This book is helping me a lot. I am an engineer by profession and never have had an arts class after my schooling days.
