I’m completely in awe of anyone who can draw. When my granddaughter asked me to draw a chicken she thought it was a hedgehog! So it sounds like I should study Sachico’s technique!
What a lovely book. Think I’d quite like it for myself!
This book looks great! I’d really love to learn to draw better!
