What This Book Doesn't Cover

Colored pencil practice sheet with outline drawings

This is a TECHNIQUE-FOCUSED tutorial, not a
comprehensive art theory course.

It does not include:

  • Color theory (separate study)
  • Composition principles (separate study)
  • Drawing fundamentals (separate study)

Think of it as learning how to use your tools
REALLY well – the foundation for everything else.

Perfect For

✓ Complete beginners
✓ Adults learning to draw
✓ Anyone who thinks “I can’t draw”
✓ Artists switching to colored pencils
✓ Students who learn by DOING
✓ Anyone focused on practical skills

NOT for students seeking a comprehensive study of art theory or composition in a single book.
