Customer canada: I found it easy to follow the exemples and it does give good results if you want to learn to draw line art florals. I think it is well suited for beginners

A: This is a very clear if basic guide to drawing a few types of flower. It’s a very nice looking book but lacking in depth.

Stephen Fairweather: For such a large book, there's a lot of empty space; which does help with the diagrams which do do as described and do help guide you through making the drawings
However, this means are only just over twenty three or so floral designs to work through (there are also very brief, and usefully clear, sections on tools, floral anatomy and some basic principles of drawing florals).
Almost a quarter of the book is blank pages for practise, one blank page after each exercise, which is something I find mildy irritating, but might be useful for some others who don't have, uh, blank paper...
Personally I worked through the book drawing an exercise once a day and greatly enjoyed it. I especially appreciated the gentle progression in difficulty from start to finish
The reason I'm giving it five stars instead of four is because I've enjoyed the book and it's exercises enough that the niggles of a limited plant selection and those practise padding pages aren't dragging it down to four stars
Overall, it's a nice introduction to drawing florals. It could be a bit better, but I can state clearly that I've enjoyed it greatly and gained several hours of pleasure...

Cmandygo: I like this book very much. It makes it so simple to draw pretty flowers. I have a couple of other books meant to teach you how to draw flowers, and they’re complicated. I’m not trying to be an actual artist, I just want to doodle flowers in my journal that are recognizable as flowers, and it gets overwhelming when a book takes you through a 10-step process, but this book doesn’t do that. It usually takes you through a 4-step process. I also like that the version I got has a spiral spine, so I can open it fully flat to get to the page I’m focusing on.
My only complaint is that there aren’t more flowers to draw! That’s why I gave it 4 stars. For the price, I wish there were more flower examples inside.

Donna Fuller: I’ve purchased hundreds of how to Watercolor and anything I could find on sketching flowers there is just nothing out there - I’ve speng sooo much money trying to find a book that really teaches Sketching Flowers and after all the time and waste of money, that just left me flat out putting my supplies away and frustrated as hell - I couldn’t sketch a decent flower to save my life.
Quite by accident I came across this book and figured I’d give sketching flowers one last shot. I love this book so much and with in minutes of opening the book I was actually drawing beautiful flowers that I’m very proud of. You will find this book not only beautiful but easy, easy step by step instructions as well as a blank work page next to the flower Alli is teaching that’s a Perk.
It’s truly a follow along step by step teaching tool. Really with in minutes of getting this book you will be sketching florals you will be proud of.
I actually ordered 3 copies of Alli’s Book. The 3rd copy I bought is Alli’s “Spiral” copy. The Spiral cover is just amazing in its self. It’s so beautiful - if you haven’t purchased your copy yet I highly recommend the Spiral Bouund Copy. I...

sablewoodpaperco: I'm pretty picky about my "how-to" books. It's very difficult for me to find a book that doesn't overexplain and make me feel like I don't have any creative freedom, or underexplain and I don't have any idea how to get from step one to step two.
That being said, this book does an excellent job of breaking florals (and more) into 4-8 very easy to follow, color coordinated steps. It is a very well put together, organized, and beautiful book (and that's before taking into account the illustrations!)
When I started seeing modern florals pop up in tattoos, on wedding stationery, as prints, on mugs, etc., I looking at the drawings longingly and tried a few times (unsuccessfully) to create my own. I didn't think I'd ever be able to draw a flower that was recognizable for what it was.
After reading and working through Alli's book (twice now 3 days), I'm blown away by the fact that I actually can draw florals—and it's all due to this book and Alli's almost magical way of breaking complex flowers into easy (if sometimes unusual!) shapes and lines.
And on a more aesthetic note: as a wedding stationer and graphic designer by trade, I can assure you that this book...

Jess: This book is pretty on the outside and on the inside. The content is so well thought out and easy to follow, especially considering I am a beginner. I found all the steps easy to follow, and plenty of content within the book. I love the variety of everything, and that it is not just all versions of the same flower. This book is great, I highly recommend.
