Drawing Basics and Beyond by Sorie Kim

5.0

Sorie Kim is one of my all time favorite artistic instructors. I have taken multiple courses of her’s and they have definitely been a turning point and aha moment each time I revisit them. She just understands the basics more than any other instructor I’ve ever learned from. Her work is plain phenomenal.

When I saw that she was releasing a guidebook, I had to jump on it and I am pleased with the inside guts of this book.

In her courses, she goes through all of the steps within this book, and even more in depth. But through these pages, you can really get an introduction into her courses and enhance your skills, beginners and expert artists alike. The way that Sorie teaches shines even here.

My favorite part of all is the beautiful sketchbook work she has throughout. She uses simple, accessible supplies and reinforces the idea that in order to get better is through breaking it down to simple processes and repetition. It’s just so good.

I cannot wait to gift this book to any and every aspiring artist I know. It’s fantastic!
