As an insanely talented artist I follow myself on YouTube, Baylee is a top artist to see produce such stunning drawings and artwork all the time.
This book includes your basics from selecting the right pens and tools to tips on gaining some inspiration and drawing the basic human face and form in varying ways complete with a colour theory chart and tips on creating more light or dark characters with certain colours blended together and outlining advice again with the right non smudgable ink pens.
The book features pop art, manga style drawings Baylee has created which are all super colourful and vibrant in a rainbow of colours proving her amazing talents as an artist.
I highly recommend this book if you love art or want to develop your techniques further.
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

I expected this to be another typical draw such and such way book, but was great surprise. It begins as expected and does a little bit on how to draw certain things like eyes, ears, and movement. What is really great about this book is the chapter on coloring. It goes over how to get flat color with a marker, how to add dimension to watercolor, and how to use color and color blending to bring an image to life. A much better book than I was expecting, than anyone who wants to learn more could find useful.
