How to Draw with Photorealism: Drawing and Shading Techniques – Beginner to Advanced

This is a beautiful book for beginners and those who want to improve their skills. It does a great job teaching how to shade and draw shapes. My 12 year old nephew loves this book. And so do I!

Love the cover

This book is good for beginners learning light angles, and shadowing. I was hoping for some thing a little more advanced, but I’ll keep looking.

I bought this forMy niece she’s a really good drawer she loved it and said she wanted. To learn more about shading and techniques

I couldn't draw a circle back 8 months ago. Not joking, it was almost a square-triangle type of circle, if that's a thing. I tried another book and my drawing was improving, but still was so far from real looking and I was considering just giving up with an "I tried, but too old to learn" mentality. Then I looked at this book. I've been using this book for about a week now, and I've already got real-looking leaves with water droplets!!!! So excited, I feel like I can really learn to draw and will not be discouraged any more. Will keep going! And getting this artist's other books lol!

One of my nieces expressed interest in getting a book to help her learn to draw realistically, so to Amazon I went. I settled on this one due to all the positive reviews and because it is literally what she asked for. She was excited to receive this book and some drawing supplies for her birthday and dove right in. She did the exercises and almost immediately was producing very realistic drawings, which really boosted her confidence. Now she can take a photo and translate it to a photorealistic drawing in graphite. Friends and family put in special requests because they love her drawings. My sister ended up buying another of Jasmina Susak's books for a young relative's birthday because they were inspired to take up drawing after seeing my niece's success. Very cool all around!

Very helpful book on how to draw various things.

Bought it as gift, and she liked it

Very well detailed for beginners, luv it

Wow, I’m honestly not that talented, but following the instructions I’ve managed to produce some incredibly realistic art work. I’ve never had so many compliments. The instructions are easy to follow and I’ve learnt so much about the techniques of drawing with pencils. I defy anyone not to be able to produce something really worthwhile after reading this book.

Do not buy. Waste of your money.Quality of paper is bad and half of the book is about the face of a woman.

un libro super básico, muy poca técnica

As in the titel, a good allround starter. It improved my technique but as with all drawing books it is you who’ ll have to do the exercises.
