This book is great - not a quick flick Tina Gartlan This book is great - not a quick flick, but an ongoing reference which has helped me understand more about drawing portraits with my own unique style. The shading templates are particularly helpful as I refer to them when drawing faces so I can create depth and 3D suggestion. The instructions are very detailed and there are loads of step by step photos of the processes. I'm doing things in my sketchbook I never thought I would! I. What a treat for mixed media junkies! Amazon Customer I am SOOOOO glad I purchased this book!I was not that familiar with Ms. Davenport's art but I love mixed media and portraits in particular, so I was drawn to this, like a magnet. After the first few pages I knew I would not be disappointed, and after pouring halfway through I had to stop and not finish the book. I needed to savor it, make it last, and I didn't want to bear the sadness of getting to the last page! Seriously, This . Crazy Good Trust me: You need this book. I have a lot of mixed media books and so many of them are pretty books without a lot of techniques. Most of them presume you already know how to draw. "Drawing and Painting Beautiful Faces" however, is packed with practical, clear techniques for learning to draw fabulous mixed media faces. Jane Davenport gives solid, detailed, clear instructions for drawing. Beginners will appreciate the step-by-step
