50 Ways to Draw Your Beautiful, Ordinary Life: Practical Lessons in Pencil and Paper (Flow)

This book is just so beautiful. And there are so many extras included, such as colored paper, textured paper, paper dolls, post cards, and more.When purchasing I was surprised to see all 5 star reviews and that made me question if they were legit reviews. After receiving the book, I TOTALLY understand why every review is 5 stars. This is just a lovely, beautifully done book. There’s so much inspiration to be found here.I’ve included a photo of my doodles from the first exercise. Cute and fun.I should also note that I am an experienced artist and have taken drawing classes, but I’m always looking for inspiration and I just love new books, which is why I purchased. This book would be great for beginners, but I love it for where I’m at in my artistic journey as well. It’s a book for anyone!The only negative was that one of the included items, a little notepad, was slightly bent because it slipped out of the bottom of the book. Not sure who’s fault that would be, but it really wasn’t a big deal to me.

I ordered this about a month ago and couldn't wait for it to arrive. It is the sweetest book for anyone who likes to doodle and try new media. Simple pointers and examples of techniques and JUST PLAIN FUN. I'm a long time doodler and love the simple layout, colorful examples and "goodies" included in the book. I use it for enjoyment in my quiet time, but also when I need a creative break from my graphic design business. It's a great way to get my hands-to-art, especially when needing a break from my computer! I LOVE this book. I hope you do too!

I have worked on my drawing for years, with classes and routines and tutorials and even though I received compliments, I never felt much confidence or comfort. This book offered me a breakthrough, by taking everyday subjects and showing how different artists played around with them and injected their own humor and tastes and experiences. It made me realize that the pleasure in drawing isn't so much about representing something perfectly (although skill improves with practice) it's about the fun of imagining what could be - of drawing a whole cupboard of funny objects, or a set of mysterious teacups, of drawing a pig and then re-imagining the pig in a completely different situation. This book is much more than it has to be - with really cute project ideas and inserts. But I think the real value is in the examples provided by the featured artists. It's a great collection. Very cozy and engaging.

Book Arrived Fast and in GREAT Condition! Good Price! I’m happy with my purchase and I would order from this company again! 😊

Looks great! Unfortunately Amazon did a little rough handling and the edge of book, top right, is damaged. I’ll still review the book a little more to see if I need to return this. Otherwise, except for the obvious damage (and what I may find later) the book is loaded with projects!

Arrived quickly in good condition as advertised. I love all things FLOW. The write inspiring books and this one did not disappoint.

I admit I mostly love to just look at the illustrations in this. The book is too beautiful to draw in. A fun look-read. And inspiring for my personal art.

I don't write many reviews but this book is outstanding and deserves a word of recognition. I bought this book for a teenage girl and it exceeds my expectations in the sense that each page is so "cute" and there are fun extras packed in, like envelopes, special folded writing lists, etc. all with the intent of practicing whatever technique the lesson is teaching. It is also a big book! Approximately 250 pages if I remember correctly. Loaded. I am not using it myself to draw, so I can't comment on that, but the presentation is wonderful for a gift.
