Ok, that's a lie, one of my students taught me the trick. First you put your pencil down, then you scoot the ruler up to it and draw. Ingenious!! Why did none of my teachers tell me this before? Maybe the better question is did my teachers know about it to tell me?This book is terse, using pictures to do the instructions. Unfortunately I don't follow pictures as well unless  they have a little bit of of written instructions with the simple line drawings.The simple line drawings are followed by colored pictures, with no inkling of how each color was chosen.  Some were rather elaborate. I would love to have accomplished such feats, but there just weren't enough  illustrations to get me there.An person of average artistic ability will likely have no trouble reproducing the pictures within the book, but that's as far as it goes. Since you have no actual instruction you won't be able  to draw much more. This book severely limits the imagination.Since I have no artistic ability, I might be able to draw a rock; even then it won't be a good one. This book may serve YOU well, but I'm not sure anything can help.me.
