Review: Awesome book!!! - This is hands down the best book/tutorial for beginners, intermediate and advanced for drawing faces. Branden breaks every feature down, shows you how to draw and shade and then puts it all together in a very simple way. I like drawing everything and don’t really want to spend tons of time on one subject matter, so I’m grateful for this awesome book. Braden also teaches classes on skillshare and he teaches filling his book, so that’s a great resource too.
Review: Very helpful - The QR codes work so that’s helpful. The book is extremely helpful for me, I’m working through the exercises as he instructs and I’m getting better. It takes practice and a good instructor. Both are here

I’m so glad I pre ordered this book. It came yesterday and already I am learning so much. I love the links to the instructional videos. I am so glad Mr. Messer decided to write this book. He gives you so much. If you are a novice, self taught artist like myself, this book is essential to your library. My confidence is growing already!
