POCKET SKETCHING IS designed for both beginners and the advanced artist. Beginners can follow each episode and enjoy the fun of success, while the advanced artist finds a fast, totally portable, compact technique that goes anywhere. Each episode demonstrates a new skill. Nothing is threatening: the supplies are few, and everything's compact and portable with no clean-up. Pocket Sketching demonstrates how one can capture magic on paper in 25 minutes or less.
