How to Draw with Photorealism: Drawing and Shading Techniques – Beginner to Advanced (How to Draw Realistically) Paperback – July 19, 2019

I’ve always loved drawing but never felt confident in my skills. This book completely changed that! The tutorials are clear, easy to follow, and incredibly encouraging. It breaks down complex techniques like shading and photorealistic detailing into manageable steps, which made me feel like I could actually improve—and I have!Practicing with the exercises in this book has not only improved my drawings but also boosted my confidence. Whether you’re just starting out or want to refine your skills, I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s been such a rewarding experience for me!

Very very good book! Teaches how to draw realistic looking art. This book gives a lot of information and instructions how to draw a variety of things.

This book is good for beginners learning light angles, and shadowing. I was hoping for some thing a little more advanced, but I’ll keep looking.

I love this book and I was sad when it ended as I just wanted more! She explains everything very well and really takes you through it step by step!

I couldn't draw a circle back 8 months ago. Not joking, it was almost a square-triangle type of circle, if that's a thing. I tried another book and my drawing was improving, but still was so far from real looking and I was considering just giving up with an "I tried, but too old to learn" mentality. Then I looked at this book. I've been using this book for about a week now, and I've already got real-looking leaves with water droplets!!!! So excited, I feel like I can really learn to draw and will not be discouraged any more. Will keep going! And getting this artist's other books lol!

This is a beautiful book for beginners and those who want to improve their skills. It does a great job teaching how to shade and draw shapes. My 12 year old nephew loves this book. And so do I!

One of my nieces expressed interest in getting a book to help her learn to draw realistically, so to Amazon I went. I settled on this one due to all the positive reviews and because it is literally what she asked for. She was excited to receive this book and some drawing supplies for her birthday and dove right in. She did the exercises and almost immediately was producing very realistic drawings, which really boosted her confidence. Now she can take a photo and translate it to a photorealistic drawing in graphite. Friends and family put in special requests because they love her drawings. My sister ended up buying another of Jasmina Susak's books for a young relative's birthday because they were inspired to take up drawing after seeing my niece's success. Very cool all around!

Bought it as gift, and she liked it
