I have doubts whether to buy a book (I think it is 3 books that would particularly tempt me including this one since I had read that was back in print and I saw it. Or sometimes I looked at some drawings I found online by the artist which is spectacular)
The Pencil paul calle

Drawing books (I also include books with photos, references, or artists, perhaps for reading or already being able to see the references, perhaps as an alternative to the PC that I often drew by looking at the monitor from the PC, actually often what is comfortable, even cellular monitor lately) so books that talk about drawing to try to learn or practice I find them a temptation, attraction, sometimes on forums I asked for books, read about them, saw advice. +2 or 3 years ago I took some, there are others recommended or out of print that I would like but I am trying to contain myself. This, I did not happen to make collections, complete collections, apart from one, I had made a collection for newsstands on photos of animals as a kid, complete, 5 years ago when I decided to try without delay to try to draw again, I thought of using those photos to practice or draw, but they had been thrown away a couple of days before I then saw, then, I used PC for references but soon also took just as books, booklets with collections of photos, 1000 of mountains, the book 1000 photos of sea, 1000 photos with beauties of the world, as a substitute for this even if you do not own animals, perhaps small photos or a little uncomfortable if you do not cut out the images perhaps or with animals cost more, however later I took my own books on drawings or on artists .many to use, maybe some a little instinctive or offers, some I had read and they are very beautiful indeed. brigman's little book is very nice and one of the 2 that I had tried and should try again.
That is, I had read a book well on the forum, I was also very curious about the artist's fantastic works, the strokes.
This book was out of print, so I hadn't thought about it, I had read in the forum, posts where they talked about it
A few years ago, it was not new but they advised it a lot that it was buying second hand, it cost maybe 5 dollars, not much and I think the images alone deserve it. A year ago it was printed,, they sold it new € 18.50 or € 22, online I think they often sold it with expenses including 18, now it is finished, it will probably come back, here sometimes online they see second-hand, used at high figures, or at 10.40. With expenses. (in just over a month it would be my birthday)
I had read on wetcavans about the book on posts on the site, I remember that it was spoken well,
I remember that perhaps he also explained the use of the projector, this is not a means that I would take, that I would use, I think that if it talks about shading, learning even a little of it would be worth the pain, or even seeing the drawings but I don't know.
The delivery is about a month (sometimes I placed orders, sometimes they didn't arrive but there would be a refund here), I am tempted by the book, new or online but I don't know if to go there.
Book I saw that there is The Pencil scribd on the website, which has a registration, which has a trial period of 30 days, I'm not on scribd, I don't know if I'll try, I was thinking about getting this book, I've been thinking about it for a while.
this I had promised myself not to overdo it with books that I don't even have space, etc. but already learning a 1/100 of what the book will probably say would be worth it (those traits are fantastic even if in reality I was in these 5 years trying to learn shading with the side of the pencil, that is books, graphic novel, comic book, book on drawing are things that can attract both for a book with explanations or just because maybe it is a book that has images you want to see, or it is a book with a reading that you want to do, novel, etc here I believe that either for one or the other, in the sense that perhaps for the language or ability it is not said that you will learn anything)
(I think I'll take it used or I wait for the new one, or I don't take it, I don't know)
(as advice I had received or read to take bust, I took very small objects even one I had seen a couple of years ago of 25 cm and at 15 euros which was the last (now I only see things for hundreds of euros, even of the same house, initially at 10) but noon I had thought about it and I didn't have much space but then inceve I have trinkets and chaos, books, old comics, old books etc.)
sorry dispersion, I'm lost in thought,
here he shows it, it looks beautiful and anyway I recommend to see pictures if you don't know the artist.
