Lee Hammond shows the reader how to create lifelike portraits, pets, landscapes, metal and more. This book is actually really educational. The difference between laying that crayon (using it like a colored pencil) and burnishing is discussed as well as the difference it makes with your art.
The paper you use also makes each piece unique as well as discussing how to draw bricks, sand dollars, panthers, teapots and more. He takes you step by step to get the effect you want. There are over 29 step-by-step demonstrations covered in this book. He teaches you how to use a grid to draw true-to-life pictures and also gives you a few tricks of the trade.
This book would be great for any school, personal use or you just want to color. Trust me - you will look at crayons in a whole new light. I am absolutely amazed with Lee's drawings, but I can't wait to try it for myself. Gotta buy me some crayons!!

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
