Interesting, informative and well-written. Audiobook is good too.

I generally like the first third of this book. The rest of it not so much. Everyone uses more words than necessary, which makes for a boring reading experience.
It also feels like some of the featured artists aren't very experienced with teaching art to others. They are good at creating it, but it feels as if this was their first time trying to explain the proces, so they just made a quick list of steps they took and called it a day. But that's not really teaching, is it?
I think Aveline Stokart's tutorial is technically the best, even though it was arguably the simplest painting and not an art style im interested in. She actually took the time to draw multiple perspectives and dissections, as well as to point out what not to do or when to switch to a new layer. This shows that she understands what others might not know yet. Kudos to her.
I liked a few others as well, but as I've said above, the book is very wordy, so I would've appreciated some cutthroat editing and more emphasis on raw information.
