"From an upbeat, lighthearted point of view, this workbook, written
by working artist and art educator Davenport, encourages readers to
get in touch with their creativity through drawing female faces in
whimsical styles. The guide first provides a lengthier than average
discussion of a wide variety of art materials, then plunges into
easy to follow, step-by-step exercises. Individual steps are
numbered and text is used to describe in detail the action of the
pencil, pen, or brush. Davenport uses her fashion illustration
background as a jumping-off point. Simplified styles of drawing
prevail, but the author still takes on anatomy and underlying
facial structure, explaining how to represent them convincingly in
two dimensions. Sections on mixed media and collage offer advice
for the reader on spontaneity. VERDICT Younger readers, especially
teen girls, will enjoy this book most." - Library Journal
