Hi guys! It’s Rose and I have a new book review for you today. This review is on a book I found on Amazon called Botanical Line Drawing by Peggy Dean. This book is not a reading book, it is a drawing book. To be more specific, it is about easily drawing plants, flowers, cacti, leaves, and more. The reason I picked out this book is because I love to doodle. I doodle on my notes, letters, homework, and practically anything I can get my hands on but the the thing is, as much as I love it, I really stink at drawing. I can barely even draw stick figures so you can just imagine how bad my doodles must look. I am really envious of people who can just whip out a sheet of paper and pencil and doodle something randomly and it looks just as good as the Mona Lisa. So I thought this book might help me to someday do the same. When the book first arrived I just started flipping through it and it took all of my will power not to grab a pencil and start trying out the easy five-step drawings right then and there. One thing I really appreciate about this book is that below each design is a small box where you can try to draw it without having to scrounge up paper. I like this because it is not whole blank pages like some drawing books have where you pay ten dollars for the content another ten for the blank pages to “practice”. The little boxes are just the right amount of space to be convenient but not make it a coloring book. Though I think this book is great for beginners like me, if you are already great at drawing plants, this book is probably not for you because it is for those just starting out. Overall I am very pleased with this book and glad I bought it. You should buy this book if… -You love to draw but aren’t very good at it yet -You need a creative outlet -You're already a good artist but want to explore new types of art (like line drawing) -You would like to spruce up your doodles -You need a fun and creative coffee table book Below I attached several pictures for fun. The first picture is some of the leaves I tried. No hate though because as I have said, I stink at drawing and these were my very first drawings. The second picture is of my drawing of a “flower” and an improved version of that flower with help from the book.
Sorry for the inconvenience of having to download the drawings but it's the only way we can include them here:).
Have a great day! Rose COMMENT OF THE DAY: Do you love to doodle and, if so, what's your favorite thing to doodle?
