This book is beautifully presented with loads of lovely illustrations. The introductory chapters contain useful tips on how to cultivate a daily sketching habit. There are some inventive 'warm up' exercises (to help with nerves and sketcher's block) and ideas for tools and materials. The 100 prompts are clearly and engagingly set out, one per page, with examples of the author's own sketches and suggestions on how to tackle each prompt. This book is appropriate for all levels of sketching ability and is very encouraging. Can't wait to get started!
