      No pierda el tiempo en este libro. Penosa calidad.

      Don't waste your time on this book. Low quality. Amateur stuff.

      I don't know how mean you have to be to give this artist a one star. Nonetheless, this book is a great start for beginners. It has thorough explanations an it's worth your time definitely!
    • 5/5
      Although I am not a professional Artist. I really enjoy illustrations to develop the basic skills required to polish my Graphic designing and Illustrations skills as I am a student and currently started Graphic Designing courses and sketching cartoons is also a fun pastime for me.
    • 1/5
      This artist doesn't even know how to draw at all. This isn't a cartoon style. I've seen actually good cartoon art of different styles and this is not that at all! This is how you draw when you first start off so it just baffles me that this artist has their own book. Don't waste your time here and definitely don't waste your money on this.
