I might revisit this book once I've gained some proficiency in pastel and have a giant drawing board and giant paper to work with. The examples are gorgeous and I would love to study them more when I can do them justice. Unfortunately the steps in the tutorials...well, they aren't tutorials because tutorials describe the steps, which this book doesn't, and that's just not enough for me at this point in time. I also can't layer my colors the way I would need to to follow the images, so I need to step up my material quality as much as drawing space size--pastel feels clunky on a standard sketch paper drawing nuanced scenes.
