      Lee Hammond's All New Big Book of Drawing Beginner's Guide to Realistic Drawing Techniques by Lee Hammond is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. I love this book! It has so much for the beginner like me. There are almost 90 step by step exercises in pencil and colored pencil! She has always been one of my favorite artists anyway, but I am definitely going to buy this book! There are so many tips and techniques to show how to achieve realistic drawings from skin to feathers, sunsets to clothes, how to pick the right tool, technique, perspective, and so much more. Just reading this book made me feel more confident that I could do this with her instructions and practice. I really enjoyed the step by step projects. She broke it down and made the instructions easy to understand. This was such an exceptional book and a great tool for the beginner like me! Thanks!
