Opinion:
I laughed when I saw this book, saying "Drawing professional art with crayons?! Yeah right, I've got to see this." Even with myself being an artist, it was hard to believe you could make professional with something so common and cheap it was considered to be a child's toy to scribble with when they were bored. Although when I saw the artwork on the cover I thought, wow, these really are drawn with crayon. This book is a great way to learn to draw with crayons, teaching you how to use different techniques, make various textures and create masterpieces. There are many step-by- step warm-ups and projects that help you get the feel of how to use the crayons and what colors to use to best serve your art. I told my mom to go get some crayons, and have had fun using the book to its best potential.
