Got this for a class and everyone was missing chunks of pages for the homework questions. Still a great book though2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good information; though reproductions could be betterBy Noah KutakaGreat content to work through. The book presents lots of useful information on different elements of the master drawings. I feel like I came away with a larger vocabulary of techniques to employ; as well as a better eye for detail when analyzing artwork. The only real shortcoming is that I feel the quality of the reproductions could be a little higher. Some of the drawings are hard to make out; and Im sure theres a whole level of detail lost relative to the originals. Still a good source of concepts and things to consider; though.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
