Great book, really easy illustrations that can be created even if you can’t draw – perfect for me!

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

Creative Drawing: Symbols and Sacred Geometry 3.5 stars

This book just wasn't bad per se, it just wasn't the book for me. When I get creative, I look to relax. Needing a ruler, compass or protractor doesn't scream, relaxing for me. As an artist, drawing straight lines and perfect circles is challenging in general. But having 6 or more circles on a page and free handing them is panic-inducing. There's step-by-step directions with pictures to follow, and I'm still overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information found in this book.

Overall, if you're interested in Symbols and Sacred Geometry, I'd recommend trying these techniques digitally where it's easy to produce shapes perfectly. Otherwise, this isn't a beginner-friendly drawing book. This book does start easily and gets more complicated quickly.

Thank you, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group, for providing me with a digital ARC for an honest review.

This is an awesome book for someone wanting to learn how to draw geometric symbols, or for anyone interested in learning to draw. Very thorough, and offers info about the symbols as well. Detailed instructions and photos make this book fun and intriguing.

Well this book was interesting. I am honestly not sure what I think of it. I thought that it was going to be more of a zentangle book but it ended up being more precise to its name. Creative Drawing: Symbols and Sacred Geometry is written by Ana Victoria Calderon and it is a drawing book that teaches how to make complex symbols.
This book was not bad but it just wasn’t for me. I was looking for a more relaxed zentangle kind of book, not one that I needed a ruler for. However if you like these types of books then this is great. It has a wonderful introduction explaining the meaning behind this book and easy to follow instructions. I really like the pictures sprinkled in between also, which really helps with the process. The books start off easier and gradually get more complex as you advance in abilities
Overall this was a good book especially if you are looking to learn more about shapes and sacred geometry. Creative Drawing: Symbols and Sacred Geometry is a beginner friendly drawing book.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher through Netgalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion, a positive review was not required.

I am looking forward to attempting to create some of these designs. The instructions are easy to understand and the photos definitely help.
