This is about as simple as it gets - there is no text on how to draw the gnomes, etc., but what you get is a series of pencil / brush strokes as the author shows you each step of the process. I had my Kindle Fire on one side of the table and a legal pad of paper right next to it as I doodled away. The first 3-4 tries I followed it step-by-step, but on the fifth one I did it solo from memory and am now making my own variations. The funny thing is, if I'm doodling away while at a meeting at work someone leaned over and said "I didn't know you could draw!" I can't - but this book really helps you out.As I mentioned above, I was using this with a Kindle Fire (8.9" screen) and it worked great; it's not so good on my Kindle Keyboard (which is understandable). I originally picked this up for free during a Kindle promotion and, as I type up this review, the price has reverted back to $5.99; if you want to learn how to draw gnomes or other caricatures, I would recommend this one - if this non-artist can do it, you can, too.  If $5.99 is above your price range in an effort to try it out, you might pick up one of the individual books in the series vs. this compilation of three titles.
