A great book on how to take your time and draw what you actually see. I really enjoyed the exploration of L-mode vs R-mode thinking and what that means for your drawings. My only complaint—and it's a result of what you're doing—is that each chapter might end up taking you two to three hours to get through because of how long each drawing will take. I guess that's not really a complaint because it's so enjoyable, but more of a warning.
