Personally, I find "how to draw" books a bit of a mixed bag. Too often, the focus is on presenting the subject in as few steps as possible. This can lead to a lot of frustration for a young artist as the change between the steps isn't always clear. That isn't the case here. Steps are fairly clear. More importantly, this is more than a simple how to. It's a short retrospective, an exploration of how characters change over time. We are shown how personality changes are reflected in drawing style and how changes in art styles can influence character. That makes this as much a coffee table book as a drawing book, so there's a little something for everyone.
