Okay so I love to color. I’m no where near as good as the colorists out there that inspire me but I enjoy it and find it relaxing. When this book came out I was hesitant but preordered because I’ve loved all her books so far. Johanna posted a little tutorial to give a taste of what to expect and I was amazed that I could actually draw some things. I’ve tried other how to draw books before but they were either to hard or things I’m not interested in. No I won’t have my own book out any time soon but I have gained a love for drawing. Some things in the book are challenging because I haven’t drawn since a kid but I persevere and find I don’t do to bad at all.If you’ve ever looked at a picture in a coloring book and wished you could do it than get the book and give it a try. There will be practice involved but how many rode a bike the first try. Then that feeling of flying down the street once you’ve gotten it.Thank you Johanna
