Sketch Every Day: 100+ simple drawing exercises from Simone Grünewald

Love every page of this book. Full with quick and visual advices to support your ideas and creating your own visual library. From observing to character design, from perspectives to how to make your weekend work with family around, you’ve got it all in this little guide with entertaining and stunning sketches all the way through. I totally recommend this book to anyone at any level who sketches every day.

A well-made book with gorgeous illustrations. I've been inspired by this artist and when I saw this book, I was thrilled. A great addition to my collection.The book is loaded with sketches for inspiration, with little tips along the way. There is a long bio about the artist, but it has cute drawings with it. Good to use as a reference book to help with original poses and develop creative ideas.I wish there would have been more information on backgrounds, different surrounding and objects included. The focus is mainly on character design, a bit of colour, faces, folds, pets and some proportion information. Hand and legs pages are greatly appreciated as they are harder to master.Overall, a good reference book for inspiration and tips.

Definitely a fun book to read and very well put together. Absolutely recommend.

I like everything about this book.In addition to some brilliant tutorials, beautiful illustrations and a book that’s just generally quite wonderful to look at, you get the accessible, conversational tone of somebody who shares an intimate view of what it is to be a working artist.It’s a very uplifting read in and of itself, but it’s also excellent at showing the realities of life in a creative industry being balanced with home and family life.I came away from this book feeling good; not just about my art, but feeling a bit less isolated as an artist.Thank you for that.

Gud book 👍🏼

I am absolutely delighted with this book! It has all those extra little details that make a book go from good to great... a ribbon marker, an elastic closure... it has amazing art with great tips and exercises! You can tell so much time and effort has gone into making every detail perfect and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Love it. I like all books by this publisher. Well written book. Great examples. All cartoon style. Broken down into sections like shading, eyes, nose, etc. It’s well made too with a kind of shiny foamy front with a card wrap around with cArtoons on it. And has a marker and an elastic strip to keep what page you’re on and keep the book together tightly and neatly. Really love it. Ideal for beginners or semi pros. Pros would know this stuff.

I tried to follow this book and gave up, now collecting dust on shelf.It seems more like a biography of the artist/author, and the examples presented are not always direct enough or jump huge steps assuming a level of advancement. Author seem to focus at points on a particular media (digital I think) without clarifying how it could be applied to other media. Or how same effects could be achieved.The author is talented but as an instruction book this is lacking. Frustrating as the illustrations are nice, author is clearly very talented.

Gusto estudiando mi libro, gracias

I love the depth of content Simone covers in this book. Each page is packed to the corners with valuable information. Anyone who's been around the art industry or steeped hours in online tutorials by professionals, has come across most of this information, which is why it's fantastic for beginners who want to want to step up their game and don't know where to start. She covers the essentials of every topic you can think of from color theory, to layout design, character design, anatomy, brush techniques, etc and even freelancer industry tips, but words them in ways that anyone can comprehend. See pictures in my review for the table of contents.I would really recommend this as a gift if you have a teenager who's into the entertainment arts (comics, gaming, and animation) as well as her other book, "Draw What You Love." I believe these would make great academic standards, as her content is explained clearly, concisely, and with plenty of visual instruction. The teaching style isnt your standard "draw this. Now draw this." but rather, she explains the why and how of technical methods, with practical application.On top of that, the quality of the physical book itself makes for an excellent gift. It's got a velvety cover with paper half dust cover that makes for a gorgeous coffee table piece. Again, all the same can be said and even more about her other book, "Draw What You Love" and together, they're everything you'll ever need to know to get a start in a professional art career, or to enhance your hobby.

The book is one in a time, very helpful and well structured.

Me ha encantado, la autora aporta muchísimos tips sobre dibujo, anatomía, composición, color, etc. Merece mucho la pena y tiene unas ilustraciones preciosas.

Ce que j’adore dans ce livre comme dans le suivant de cet auteur c’est que dès qu’on a un doute à résoudre dans son illustration ( éclairage, cheveux, pose avec raccourcis, character design…), on va au sommaire, trouve le bon chapitre et on a de bonnes astuces pour y arriver. Les infos sont très directes et faciles à appliquer
