It was good. There was new information that I hadn't seen in a drawing book before. I like how he has you proportion your butterflies. I feel like I acquired new understands, but I wasn't inspired to try any of the exercises. Solid, better than average B grade.

Opened a whole new world of nature journaling for me and in that I have found what is probably my favorite hobby. It’s a combination of the two things I love - nature and art and you cannot find a better book and teacher on this topic than John Muir Laws. This is the best book on nature journaling out there.

I picked up this book wanting to pick up a new hobby of nature journaling. Since spending so much time outdoors, and wanting to learn to draw, I thought this book fit the bill quite nicely. It took me over a year-ish to get through the full book. I checked it out from my local library multiple times, reading a few pages at a time and taking in the tips and instructions inside.
The drawing instructions feel simultaneously doable and unattainable. Explaining about horizon lines and how to see the structure of a tree is easy enough to understand, but in practice is actually very difficult to create as a newbie drawer. Still, there's a lot of don't worry just get out there sentiments, and it's very motivational overall. I wouldn't mind owning this one, to be able to pick up and put different techniques into action when the mood strikes.
