Is it worth reading everything that is there or should I go straight forward to exercises (if there are any). I am not a complete beginner but I would like to work on my measurement and overall proportion skills so I want to read that book.

Also I heard that there is a smaller version of it without all the science talk, can anyone link it?

There are 2 books, main one and workbook. Skip what you'd like, exercises are important. Talking is kinda tolerable, there's good information there, not scientific but made with good intent.

The book itself is dumb, it is full of falacies and she lacks knowledge in neuroscience, but the exercises are excelent. It will remove any excuses that you have about drawing and you will learn that it is all about technique.

Read it, it is fast, but do not believe the pseudo science about the brain.

Also, you should only read mostly to remove your limitations, after that, you will need to study a real course.

>tfw read it and believe in the actual science in the book
How does it feel to know you're not gonna make it and I will?

???

I just want to get better at measuring, I dont need to reassure myself that i am able to draw or anything like that. Just straight skill
>>
>>2833686
Then the book is useless for you. Get to measuring.

>>2833687
I feel like it takes much more time than it should, I need some tips how to get more efficient with this whole deal

I always recomend for 'I have never held a pencil my whole life' to do this book first then Keys.

Because if you want to get gud fast you study everything.

Which is? What? Like dude, there's no standard of time for this. It's all about you getting it right, time is irrelevant unless you're taking years on a basic piece. Efficiency just comes with experience, so just it do it a lot.

Try Keys to Dtawing. It teaches the same stuff without the science talk.

Ah, yes, the "newfags will just kill themselves after they check the result" exercise.
