March 17, 2009: Finding this book was a happy accident. As someone with a creative spirit, my intimidation of sketching has kept me from attempting new avenues of art. This book has given me the courage to find my own style. It beautifully illustrates many artists and their personal styles, ranging from elaborate watercolors to penciled lists. It can be read cover to cover for personal narratives, or browsed through and admired. A book of this execution, I would have assumed, costs double what it does. If you can find it, buy it immediately.
