Disjointed non practical writing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2019

A lot of disjointed non practical information. Repeated failed attempts trying to make the text sounds innovative but unfortunately didn't succeed.
I wouldn't recommend it at all and feel was waste of money.

Too much waffle.

Writer clearly loves the sound of their own voice. I would send it back, but on mobile, no printer.

Beautiful work, but sadly you will need to purchase so much more...

I can't help but be disappointed since the book seems to be of little help without having to make further purchases from the artist's website! Although Alyona Nickelson is an artist beyond compare, this book is not useful for the beginner colored pencil enthusiast, or for that matter, even the "struggling" artist. I truly can't recommend this book to anyone without deep pockets...

c’est un excellent livre en lui même ***** , mais le livre (article et emballage endommagé) ne l’est carrément pas * .

c’est un excellent livre en lui même ***** , mais le livre (article et emballage endommagé) ne l’est carrément pas * .

J’ai payé plus cher (EUR 22,10)qu’aujourd’hui pour un livre neuf en passant direct par amazon afin de l’avoir à temps et meme si l'emballage était abimé et non suffisant pour ce type de livre , le livre semble être déjà d'occasion car déjà en très mauvaise état(encorné dans les coins, abimés, rayé, taches même là où l’emballage était très bien.

Même si arrivé avec 24H d’avance, L’échangé serait perdre du temps à le déposer et faire les longues démarches, refaire un emballage plus cher car il serait plus correct et de meilleur qualité que celui utilisé (cette fois ci )par amazon, en plus une imprimante est requise pour pouvoir le retourner(le bon de retour), et en plus sans compter le déplacement et les longues files d’attente de la poste(car carte point relais ne fonctionne pas en ce moment) et surtout perdre plusieurs jours, voire plus et le risque de ne pas l’avoir à temps d’ici après demain, … et le risque qu’il y’a encore un souci avec le retour et d’etre facturé 2 fois par la suite.
Normalement, il est vrai je suis satisfait de l’envoi des livres et autres produits et aies plus de chance qu'aujourd'hui, mais là,
Si ce n’est pas pour le recevoir en bon état jusqu’au lieu de réception voulu et ensuite devoir faire toutes ces nouvelles démarches’, je ne serais pas passé directement par amazon et devoir payé plus cher.
Bref, très déçu aussi d’offrir un cadeau d’occase dans cet état et espère avoir plus chance la prochaine fois.

Not about portraits

Reviewed in the United States on 20 October 2019

I don’t know why this is so disappointing?
Mostly, because , it’s not about portraits.
I kept hoping it would start on the next page but it never begins to be what it says it is about.
It goes on and on about the fixative spray and the powder to get rid of pencil strokes. Besides that that doesn’t really work, I would have ordered a book about that. I think the author developed the products this book is about?

Nice Book But Pages Missing

Reviewed in the United States on 18 February 2019

Was reading the first several pages and realized the beginning of the book started over again on the next page. The book stopped before the end of the last chapter. Printing defect from whoever did the bookbinding.

Self promotion and pushing her products from her store

Reviewed in the United States on 21 December 2017

Verified Purchase

This was the worst purchase I ever made. She spent the first 60 pages talking about her own products and I didn’t learn anything at all. More of a self promotion book than anything else.

VERY disappointed!

Reviewed in the United States on 23 June 2017

Verified Purchase

I pre- ordered this book 3 months ago, and was so excited to finally have it delivered. I decided to return it after plodding through only 60 pages. Sorry, but it reads like an infommercial for the products sold by the author. I skimmed through the rest of the book, and see nothing that will help improve my portraits in pencil. Unless, of course, I buy/use her products. SO disappointed.

Not for this CP Artist!

Reviewed in the United States on 22 June 2017

Verified Purchase

The last thing a reader wants to read is an author pushing her products.

This book is really an extention of the four page spread she took out in a colored pencil magazine to tell all about her products for colored pencils, way back in 2015. The majority of the photos used there are found in this book.

A rerun. No need to shell out the $$'s for this. I would appreciate having my money back.

Not for pastels or pastel pencils

Reviewed in the United States on 20 August 2017

Verified Purchase

I use pastel coloured pencils and this book does not include pastel pencils, which are very different from oil or wax based pencils. I wish the advert had mentioned that.
