What makes this book so useful are the chapters on more nebulous concepts, like how to choose a subject, or what to do when people notice you drawing. What Chapman's book does that makes it so helpful is that, instead of saying, "One day you might be able to do this, and maybe people will take you seriously," Chapman makes you, the artist, feel like a confident member of an envied community. She notes that almost everyone wishes they could draw, so the very idea that you're doing it at all makes you seem incredible."<br>--<i>San Francisco Book Review, www.sanfranciscobookreview.com</i><br>
