Drawing trees are no simple "How to Draw-book". Victor Perard instead gives examples of different trees. After reading the book, I look at nature in a different way - I see that different trees grow in different ways, tribes, bark, leaves and tree crowns are very different. This is a book to be inspired by.Drawing trees are no simple "How to Draw-book". Victor Perard instead gives examples of different trees.

I love this book. I've read it numerous times. The pictures are beautiful and the advice is excellent--mostly about the order to use in drawing trees--working with masses first so that you simplify and grasp the overall shape in your mind and don't get bogged down in detail before you're understood what you're trying to convey.I love this book.

Trees fascinate me. I love to sketch them. This book helped me to be able to identify a few more of them so I appreciate iit for that support.

This is less of a how-to-draw book, more of a how-to-see. Though it isn't a long book, it is immensely helpful in showing you how to look at trees and nature.

Concise, easy to understand book on drawing trees. It covers perspective, composition, shading, texture, and other things you would expect in a drawing class. Very motivating. (I love drawing trees.) Helpful for teaching students, probably 12 and up. Inexpensive. A Dover reprint of a book written in 1955. Alas, we have no more elm trees to draw.

Extremely Helpful
I rarely do graphite sketches, my medium is watercolor. Realistic tree branches are very difficult for me and this little book is going to help me improve. I found it to be very useful for me and I am going to use it as a reference for drawing trees.

It just has some pictures of trees.. Virtually no info on how to draw trees.. Absolute waste of $
Very simple instructions
Easy to understand simple instructions, can study straight from photo. Guides are easy to refer to . Thank you dove.
