Yet received from Amazon.co.uk...at first sight my two cents about these books:
Getting Started
Description of tools, good examples and projects; very quick to read...some excercises are very hard!

Landscapes
Great solution for everithing you need if you are looking for texture "cookbook" to use in landscape

Flowers
Great solution for everithing you need if you are looking for texture "cookbook" to use in botanics

Composition
Ideas to compose, correctly build you own still life and what to find interesting looks.

Portraits
Some complete projects including facial proportions and schema to correctly identify keys to drawing a portrait. I'm studying Art Academy DVDs on portraits and seems it's complicated to correctly draw a portrait. Readen "Draw on the right side brain"...but I'm not completely satisfied...great istruction to "see"...poor istruction with techniques, tools and exercises to do practice.

Dragons - Animals - Dogs & Puppies
A lot of ideas to complete textures, identify shapes, shadows...suggestion to correctly render all subjects.


I'm waiting for future outgoing: Drawing Made Easy: Horses & Ponies

In any case great collection of books...a complementary guide to Betty Edwards book.


Ciao
Have great drawing with your pencils!

Dang I want to hang out with you lol .. would be great to have all those books at hand .

I'm with her...but I think I'll just get myself to the library rather than wait my turn...hehehehe
