How to Draw Without Talent Reviews


  • Danny

    I wrote this book and I think it’s pretty good. Let me know what you think.

  • Gina House

    Awesome and inspiring book! I started this book last summer along with my very first sketchbook. I’ve always wanted to have a daily sketchbook in which I could add paintings and drawings…but I didn’t know how to draw!

    Danny Gregory’s YouTube videos have motivated me more than I could have ever imagined. Through his encouraging and mellow videos, I learned about Sketchbook Skool and Koosje Koene.

    Between the two of these incredible and down-to-earth artists, I now have a daily sketchbook practice that I love. Danny’s guidelines are practical and simple for anyone to tackle, even if you know nothing about drawing.

    I continue to watch his videos and read his books because they just make me so happy and kick start my creativity. One day, I will save money to take a bunch of Sketchbook Skool classes. I can’t wait! Until then, I have this fantastic book full of artistic ideas to keep me going. Highly recommended!

  • Cassandra

    I received a complimentary copy.

    The book contains a great amount of knowledge compiled from others. It is inspiring and can be referenced whenever you I want a new or fresh outlook before trying to create something new. It a great study book for people as well.

  • Toni Tassani

    I loved the title and contains a lot of inspiring drawings and advice. It contains some of the exercises also found in "Drawing from the right side of the brain" and the Urban Sketching community.

    I liked the advice about using a pen and commit to your lines and your mistakes. That realism isn't real but captures who you are and where you are. That drawing takes place in the present and it is called "a drawing" not "a drawn".
    Instead of a book, it is more like a course with activities.

  • Fifa

    For beginners & fr anyone wanting to brush their drawing skills..

    I think his online course by the same name would have been more useful...nevertheless a good book for the beginners...

  • Sam

    It’s a good book to start on your journey to draw. It’s easy to follows and it motivates you to draw. I honestly did majority of the exercises and it took me out of my comfort zone. I showed it to family and friends and they loved it. Highly recommended and all you need are a pen and a sketchbook.

  • Catherine

    Looked through this because I had nothing better to do. I knew all the tricks in the book, but the layout was pleasing to the eye and tricks in it were good.

  • Nadine Lucas

    Wonderful, inspiring little book that will get you drawing and feeling good about even if you are intimidated and anxious like me. Love all of Gregory's books and the fine folks at Sketchbook Skool.

  • Paige

    Like all or Danny Gregory’s book, this was very accessible and easy to read with with lots of quick and practical exercises.

  • Neha D'souza

    I loved Art Before Breakfast

    But this book, somehow, didn’t work for me.

  • Megan

    Danny Gregory has a super accessible and fun way of teaching. I love the exercises. This book is all about drawing loose and exploring different ideas.

  • Jacki
