Okay, first off—this book is HUGE. Like, 'I-need-a-strong-coffee-and-a-week-off-to-digest-this' huge. But in the best way possible.

The variety of art styles? Chef’s kiss. Even the so-called 'bad' examples are lowkey impressive. It’s like the book whispers, 'Psst… you could be better,' but in a supportive way.

As someone who doodled dragons on homework margins, I thought I knew stuff. Nope. This book schooled me on fundamentals my graphic design degree somehow missed (sorry, student loans).

Pro tip: AVOID THE KINDLE VERSION. It’s like trying to read a mural through a keyhole. Go physical—the pages are crisp, the colors pop, and you can hug it after learning something mind-blowing.

Minor trauma alert: My first copy arrived looking like it fought a printer and lost. Replacement? Flawless. Now it lives on my desk, permanently flipped open to the 'Drawing Emotions' chapter (my kryptonite).

Beginners? Pros? Doesn’t matter—this book’s like that one art teacher who actually explains things without making you feel dumb. 196 lira for this treasure? Basically theft.

P.S.: If you highlight passages like me, prepare for a rainbow explosion. Every page is THAT useful.
