Shes shared it with her sister and cousins -- and one of the cousins recently won an art award from skills she learned from this book.14 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Has the points you need... If youre already an artist.By Kelcie DentIllustrations for all sorts of animals? Yes. Fantasy; normal; even full-size despite being a book on chibis. You cannot; on any platform; fault this book for lack of illustration. The only things to really complain about are probably incredibly common complaints--lack of instruction. The diagrams are simple to follow and understand; but diagrams alone cant tell you all you need to know (unless you fly that way; in which case I would be jealous.) The written instructions are lacking enough to leave a bit of a roadblock; so if youre not confident in your ability to "Look; copy; draw"; then I dont really recommend this. If you are confident however; this is a great reference piece; aside from normal animals; instead of going for the typical western creatures; we have the eastern demons--includes the eastern Dragon; Kirin; Phoenix; Bakeneko; Kitsune; Tengu; and lots of other animals and creatures related to Japan and its mythology.If you compare content with instruction; its slightly off-balance; still; this book receives a minimum of 3 stars from me.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
