Royal and Langnickel Sketching Made Easy, Venice Bridge

I enjoy a bit of paint by numbers and had never heard of sketching by numbers till I stumbled across this. Bought it to while away and evening or two while my wife watches the tele and I really enjoyed it. Packaged well, instructions are a bit sketchy (pun intended) but if you follow them and try each pencil before starting you get a feel for how dark each one is. Theres no clue on where to start or with what pencil so once you get over the initial hurdle of starting it becomes a but clearer and easier.End result is very impressive and its much easier to get this out and sketch for a wee while than it is to get my paintings out. It is teaching me a lot about light and how you represent shapes with shading so it's another part of my journey of self teaching drawing skills, a subject which I was totally rubbish at school.

This was a gift for my Neice at Christmas

actually i am working on it right now!it is very nice to work with sketching and not think complex!i like the fact the kit shows the novice as i am which pencils will do what kinds of marks i like the jpicture and it is easy to follow as the original sketch drawing!
