I've been following Karen Campbell for a long time now, and I've learned so much, but this book takes her lessons to the next level. I never thought of myself as much of an artist until I discovered her YouTube channel and books. Now, I get compliments on my drawings and love being able to sit down to draw. This book is so full of helpful lessons, it's an amazing steal for the price. Whether you're into the realistic style or a more whimsical look, you'll find all the help you need in this book, delivered in a conversational, low-key way that takes all the anxiety out of learning a new skill. I'll stop talking -- buy the book. You won't regret it. -Kate Smith Not sure how I discovered Karen Campbell, but I've watched quite a few of her free YouTube art tutorials and found her definitively to be one of the better mixed media art teachers. What I like about Karen's teaching style, which is all over this book, is that she presents hardcore art principles in an easy-to-understand way. As a result, what you want to accomplish in your artwork suddenly requires less effort and you nail what you've been struggling with, maybe for years. -Mary Anne Farley If you have ever wanted to draw faces either real or whimsical then this book IS for you! If you detest those books that are boring, hard to understand, full of must buy this exact supply crap, then this book is for you. Karen's written words and drawings will 'talk' you through in a fun and easy to understand manner. 260 pages with lots of encouragement along the way! Think you can't draw a stick figure, get your copy of this book and amaze yourself. I'm very new to drawing and I'm so happy to own How to Draw and Find Your Style. -Amazon Verified Purchase
