Staff wasn't very welcoming and never really came to check on us. Food quality was mediocre. Whole experience lackluster.

The service was excellent, the staff friendly and helpful, and the afternoon tea just what our children had hoped for. We enjoyed our tea very much and it was a good value.
((*** 30 januari 2017 av Alice från London
Restaurant was not open as the heating had broken. No notification beforehand, rather disappointing. Bar team did a great job to accommodate us in the bar though and food was an ok quality.
((((( 5 januari 2016 av Ingrid Van der geugten från Mechelen (B)
I decided to have afternoon tea before taking the Eurostar home. I opted for the Woburn Tea at the Hilton Euston and was not disappointed. Tea was served in the lovely Woburn restaurant. The table looked wonderful and the food and tea were very tasty, the scones were warm which was nice as it was a rainy day! Staff were very attentive and accommodating. As it was a bit of a 'strange' day (30th December) I was the only one in the restaurant, but that did not really bother me. I suppose there would be more of an ambience on other days. Overall good value for money.

The food was great and the service as well. The hats and new years stuff were really fun!

We had afternoon tea at the Woburn Restaurant in the Hilton Euston. The restaurant was empty apart from us, so it was a very select gathering. We had four different types of afternoon tea between us; and the quality of the service and quality of the food was exceptional - particularly at the price.

Pimples are a skin condition, also known as acne, that are experienced by both males and females --- particularly during the hormonal changes caused by puberty. It is common for pimples to develop on the surface of the skin on the face, back and chest. Some pimples are rooted deeper under the surface, and these tend to be more painful and obvious than most cases of acne. In order to treat deep pimples, it is important to cleanse the skin daily, and apply special products to the affected area to reduce the inflammation.
Things You'll Need
- 5% benzoyl peroxide wash or salicylic acid cleanser
- 5% benzoyl peroxide cream or sulfur based cream
- Spot treatment
Wash your entire face --- or other affected skin areas --- twice daily with a wash containing 5 percent benzoyl peroxide. If you are allergic to this, use a salicylic acid cleanser as a replacement.
Apply a benzoyl peroxide cream to the face after each wash. If you are allergic to this, use a sulfur-based cream or gel as a replacement.
Apply a spot-treatment to the affected area each night, after your regular nightly cleansing and moisturizing.
Avoid using oil-based makeup or oily moisturizers, until the deep pimple has cleared up. Keeping the area oil free will help speed up the recovery process.
Consult a doctor if the pimples continue. Complicated cases of deep acne might require special medication. If your pimples become over-bearing and do not go away with regular cleansing, it is time to pursue other treatment options.

Today, the Indiana Pacers confirmed rumors and traded Jermaine O'Neal to the Toronto Raptors for T.J. Ford, Rasho Nesterovic, the 17th pick of the draft, and a player to be named later.
There are lots of reasons not to make this trade: O'Neal is owed over $40 million the next two seasons and has had trouble even leaving the bench. He hasn't played in more than 70 games since the 03-04 season and missed 40 games last year. Even if he does come back and have a healthy year, it's doubtful that he'll return to his 24-point, 10-rebound self from 2005.
All that aside, the way you talk yourself into making this deal is simple if you're Toronto. First off, Ford and Nesterovic were completely dispensable. The Raptors already have a very solid point guard in Jose Calderon, and Nesterovic hardly played at all in the postseason. O'Neal is 30 years old and two years younger than Kevin Garnett, who just showed he still has a lot to give.
Before this trade, the Raptors were in no position to contend with the best teams in the East. In their last two trips to the playoffs, Toronto lost to Orlando and New Jersey, and let's face it, Orlando and New Jersey are miles away from Cleveland, Detroit, and Boston. This trade might not work out, but if Toronto hadn't made any move, there's no way they were going anywhere next year. Now if O'Neal can actually stay healthy, their front line will consist of Bargnani, Chris Bosh, and Jermaine O'Neal. In a conference where the 45-loss Hawks can make the playoffs, that might be good enough to get to the second round.

I like the idea, art direction coulda been more in favor of product
I saw just the shadows at first and though of the Hiroshima People shadows at first...thought the product could cancel out the sound of an A-Bomb... impressive :)
the Hiroshima thing, was the first thought I came to as well.
I find them a little spooky.- ghost's etc..
it's a good concept,
Perhaps had the contrast been turned down a little it would be a little more real world.

Curl Up & Dye is a FULL SERVICE FAMILY SALON. We do Men, Women and Kids! We have a fire engine chair and a real saddle chair for the kids to sit in. We do all types of haircuts, including razor cuts. Everything from flat tops and fades to long layers and A lines, and everything in between. We do all forms of color. The "Zotos" color we use covers grey better and fades less then any color I've ever used. We do everything we can to meet all of your color needs. Anything from a basic root touch up to High lights and Low lights or a drastic changes, whatever you want or need. We LOVE CRAZY COLORS, we carry Pravana vivids and the new pastels. Pravana outlasts anything that has been on the market before. If you can think it up one of us can probably do it. If you have an idea but no picture we have a program that you can add color to a picture of yourself. A couple of us even do corrective color. No matter how bad you think it is we can PROBABLY fix it. We can NOT quote actual color prices over the phone, we must see your hair.
We also do perms of all kinds. In today's age of straight styles, people with fine hair like myself, think there's no way to have the body of a perm, with the straight look at the same time. The fact is a perm does the same thing for a straight style as it does when you use a curling iron. So all of us who used to get teased for perming our hair so that then we could blow dry and curl it. Well it's time to let them tease you again ladies, because that 'straight style' you just can't get even though you were born with stick straight hair, is only a perm and a flat iron away. Are you one of those people with super naturally curly hair, that has a mind of its own and god forbid it rains after you have left the house. Or you just keep it up because, quite frankly you gave up on it behaving a long time ago, little lone actually do a straight style. most hair healthy enough for a perm can have curl added tightened, or loosened. People always think of a perm making your hair super curly where in fact because it breaks down bonds in your hair then reforms those bonds around the perm rod, we can reform the bonds to ANY size, bigger or smaller, or just redirect them so they lay nice and in the same direction.
If you like us on Facebook we will give you a complimentary glass of wine or a beer when you come in. We will run "RANDOM" specials on facebook. THEY ARE GOING TO BE GREAT SPECIALS worth checking out. For example, we'll do $5.00 off haircuts one day or $10.00 off gel polish. Whatever amuses us and is fun will be the RANDOM special. It will never be less than $5.00 off and sometimes the savings will be much larger! We will put on super great ones some times, just to keep it fun. The only way you will be able to see our "RANDOM" specials, is to "like" us on Facebook. If you don't have Facebook you still get the complimentary beverage.

Ninth-inning run leads Red Sox past Chiefs
Syracuse's rally falls short in 1-0 loss
By Syracuse Chiefs | April 17, 2012 4:44 PM ET
For Syracuse (3-9), Maya turned in one of his best professional performances with seven and one-third scoreless innings. He ran into a spot of trouble in the first inning with two outs, when Lavarnway singled and designated hitter Lars Anderson doubled him to third. But the right-hander from Cuba recovered, getting Mauro Gomez to fly out to right field.
But the Chiefs' bats were equally stifled against Pawtucket (8-5) right-hander Justin Germano. In his first start at Syracuse since a perfect game with Columbus last season, Germano was brilliant once more. He allowed just three singles in seven innings, with the Chiefs putting together only one serious threat.
That threat came in the bottom of the fifth inning. Harper singled to lead off the frame, and designated hitter Jarrett Hoffpauir grounded his second single of the night to left field. After a Carlos Maldonado sacrifice bunt moved the runners up to second and third with one out, third baseman Carlos Rivero hit a ground ball to his counterpart at third, Jonathan Hee, who held the runners and threw to first base for the second out. Shortstop Josh Johnson then flied out to left field, ending the inning.
Meanwhile, Maya cruised after the first, allowing no additional hits until the eighth inning. With one out, Che-Hsuan Lin and Tony Thomas laced back-to-back singles to put two runners on base. Hee then walked to load the bases, and Maya was removed for Josh Wilkie. It took all of one pitch for Wilkie to escape the inning, with Daniel Nava grounding into a 4-6-3 double play.
But after Brandon Duckworth fired a scoreless eighth inning for the Red Sox, Pawtucket finally struck in the top of the ninth. After Wilkie struck out Jose Iglesias, Lavarnway launched a 3-2 pitch over the left field fence near the 356-foot mark. The home run, Lavarnway's second in as many days, gave Pawtucket the first and only run of the game.
In the bottom of the frame, the Chiefs put one final rally on against Duckworth. Seth Bynum singled with one out, and after a Mark Teahen strikeout, Tyler Moore singled to left. With runners on first and second and two outs, Duckworth threw a wild pitch to advance the runners to second and third base. But Harper's hard line drive traveled right into the glove of Tony Thomas at second base, ending the game.
The Chiefs and Red Sox will play their third game of a four-game series Wednesday at 6:00. Two major league veterans, Syracuse left-hander John Lannan and Pawtucket right-hander Aaron Cook, will duel.

How to: Install wrx rear sway bar on a 2.5i 08+

How to: Install wrx rear sway bar on a 2.5i 08+
Here a tutorial about how to install a rear sway bar on a
Subaru Impreza.
I used a sway bar from a 2011 WRX which is 16mm thickness. You can use one from a 2008 to 2011.
2008 -> 15mm
2009-2011 -> 16mm
First lets start with the hardware that you need. Go buy them at a dealer:
2x Bracket -> 20466FG000
4x Bracket bolt -> 010108200
2x Bushing -> 20464FG000
2x Endlink -> 20470FG000
2x Endlink Nut -> 902370046
2x Bottom Bolt for Endlink -> 901000221 & Nut -> 902350001 (or you can use a M10x90mm or 3/8- 3"1/2 with the nut)
You can use washer on the bolt if you want like i did
Once you have all of the hardware needed,
1. Grease the bushing and the bar (they goes outside the metal sleeve)
2. Jack the rear of the car and secure it with Jack stand.
3. Bolt the endlink on the control arm
4. Slide the bar under it. The small curve on the bar goes upward and the bushing goes in the rear of the subframe bracket (You should see it). On a sedan with double exhaust it may be a little harder to slide it in.
5. Install the bracket and tight them in place
6. Bolt the endlink to the sway bar (Do not tight the bolt)
7. Put the car on the ground
8. Tight the endlink nut with wrench and Hex key
That how it should look like
Left side
Right side
And go for a ride!
For me its day and night, there is no more rebound from the rear suspension and its more stiffer! All the hardware (Except the bar) cost me around 30$.

I'm Margie Riley, I'm an editor and proofreader. I've also been described as a wordsmith—a bonus that thrills me.
I have a thorough grounding in English which enables me to make pertinent suggestions for my clients' work. I'm conscious of the need to maintain—and promote—the writer's voice. I'd love to help you with your projects, large or small and provide a personal service: one-on-one sessions either by Skype or, if you live in the Greater Brisbane area, in person.
English is an evolving language and some of the more rigid rules of grammar have been relaxed; however, spelling and punctuation gaffes, jumbled sentence construction and the incorrect choice of words are never acceptable to discerning readers. In other words, I make my clients' works accessible and enjoyable to their readers.
I also present small, non-confrontational workshops on a variety of topics to creative writers' groups. This is a real buzz as I am able to look at editing from a writer's point of view. My network grows with each presentation. I love to share knowledge and to help other writers with their work. I presented at the 2015 and 2016 Writers' Group Convention.
Another big buzz is judging short stories; I love to read other people's work. There's so much talent out there.

Spare a thought for country officials in NSW. They must feel they have woken from an 18-month nightmare after the TVN shareholder split, which should have their vision hopping back across the divide to Sky Channel soon.
Country racing, along with NSW's Provincial Racing Association, signed over their broadcasting rights to Racing NSW to negotiate on their behalf midway through last year.
It meant country and provincial rights were eventually granted to TVN, but they have seen nothing like the coverage they would have liked compared with their Victorian cousins since.
After the NSW faction of the TVN board walked away from the premium broadcaster on Christmas Eve, the country rights are almost certain to return to Sky as the battling clubs in the bush count the cost of the blackout nearing on a fortnight, which has hit turnover hard.
"I'm glad the thing has been brought to a head because country and provincial for the last 18 months have been the ham in the sandwich of this," country chairman Bob Pavitt said.
"We need the issue sorted out and it's certainly not doing us any good not being wall-to-wall, which is the bread and butter. We're happy to see the thing brought to a head, get it out there, settled and back to normal to have all our meetings on Sky to help our turnover.
"It's very unfortunate racing in Australia can't work together, but at the end of the day this issue needed to be sorted and we signed agreements almost two years ago in the country and it's been going for too long."
Country clubs have also been forced to scramble to install a TVN feed on-course in the past fortnight after Sky was denied the right to showcase NSW and Victorian racing on the wall-to-wall channel.
Cracking the Code
It's 500 kilometres between Inverell and Gosford and 1200 metres difference in race distances, but the two meetings either side of New Year's Eve are viable ones for Tamworth trainer Ruth Cooper with Code Word.
Cooper, who bought Code Word for $6000 as a tried horse recently, has entered the eight-year-old for the Inverell Cup on New Year's Day over 1400m as well as a restricted race at Gosford 24 hours earlier over 2600m.
"It's such a big jump between 2600 to 1400 [metres], but he likes it really heavy which slows the speed out of the race completely," Cooper said. "If they put off Gosford, that [Inverell Cup] will be a B-plan for us."
The $30,000 Inverell Cup meeting will headline five meetings across the countryside on New Year's Day, with Cooper also entering Beached As at the Wallabadah Cup program.
TAB meetings
Sunday - Murwillumbah, Orange. Monday - Corowa. Tuesday - Coffs Harbour. Wednesday - Nowra. Thursday - Inverell, Port Macquarie. Friday - Sapphire Coast.

The system is mainly a lay betting system and I personally LAY every bet whether it is a BACK or a LAY bet and then trade it.
Remember favourites win 1 out of 3, odds on favourites 1 out of 2 and at least 2 horses on average with odds over 25/1 will win a race in the UK or Ireland each day. Therefore I recommend looking at trading as a strategy for layers and backers and you can find out more on the new www.ukhorseracingtipster.com site which has lots of useful information for Betfair users.
I would also suggest you use the Google+ button on the top of the right column to suggest this page to your Google followers and check out my Horse Racing Tips Google+ Page for info on other great Horse Racing and Race Tipping sites.
You can also join my new Facebook page which is linked to the my new horse racing site facebook.com/ukhorseracingtipster
Remember - Trade, Trade, Trade. Use the tools on Betfair to watch the prices move and if you are laying a bet ensure your back bet is not stupidly high so as not to get matched and vice-versa.
You can find more about trading over at the Trade Betting Guide page and it could be your way to earning safe profits daily from your betting whether you lay or back your bets.

Effect of perishing of specific goods
- Goods perishing before making of contract: According to Section 7, of sale of goods act 1930, when in case of sale or agreement to sell, the perishing of specific goods at or before the time of making the contract would render the contract void.
Note: If the seller has knowledge about the destruction the goods, and in spite of it enters into a contract of sale with the buyer, then the seller is bound to compensate the buyer.
A sold specific goods to B which were lying in A's godown unknown to both the parties the goods got destroyed due to fire. Such contract is void.
Note: The sec 7 of Sale of Goods Act 1930 is based on the ground of impossibility of performance Sec 56(1) as specified in Indian Contract Act 1872.
- Goods perishing before sale but after agreement to sale: According to Section 8, "Where there is an agreement to sell specific goods and the goods subsequently without any fault of seller or buyer perish or suffer such damages as not to answer to description in an agreement before the risk passes to the buyer, the agreement becomes void".
- The contract of sale must be an 'agreement to sell' and not 'actual sale'
- The agreement to sell must be for the sale of specific goods
- The goods must have perished before the agreement to sell becomes sale i.e. before the buyer becomes the owner of goods
- The goods must have perished without the fault of the buyer or the seller
John delivered a horse to Johny for a trial for 8 days. It was agreed that the sale would be complete if the horse was found suitable for Johny's purpose. The horse died on the 3rd day without any fault of either party. The contract was void and John could not recover the price from Johny.
Note: Note- the Sec 8 of Sale of Goods Act 1930 is based on the ground of supervening impossibility of performance Sec 56(2) as specified in Indian Contract Act 1872.

My wife is still dieting, and doing well at it. She is eating very carefully, and she doesn't deviate much. She has accomplished what some of the best weight loss supplements have done for others that she has met.
We have both discussed using other things, but the money part of that is what bothers me. With the current economic situation I cannot justify spending drastic amounts. She lost 27 lbs. during this session. Throughout the past 2 sessions she lost a total of @ 70 lbs.
I am very pleased with her, and I realize that she isn't doing this just for us. One additional reason is that she wants to be around for many more years so that she can see our daughter grow up.
Keep up the good work Deb.

Based on that premise, Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Jim Thome has claimed a place alongside such current icons as 76ers guard Allen Iverson (3), Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb (5) and Flyers forward Jeremy Roenick (97). What is noteworthy about the proliferation of his No. 25 jersey around brand-new Citizens Bank Park is that Thome is just halfway through his second season in red-and-white pinstripes.
And in a city where no jock is immune from the sports-talk radio scrutiny, about the only mention of Thome on a recent afternoon show was a brief discussion on whether the Phillies should obtain more offense around him or acquire another pitcher before the July 31 trade deadline. Silence is golden, yes, but in this city it speaks volumes about one's standing.
Finding fault with Thome or his game is difficult right now. Barring a surge this week by Cincinnati's Adam Dunn or St. Louis' Albert Pujols, Thome's major league-best 27 homers will carry into next Tuesday's All-Star Game in Houston.
Even Thome's 0-for-8, five-strikeout performance Friday in a 16-inning, 7-6 loss to the Baltimore Orioles didn't result in radio-wave venom.
Thome is usually too focused on helping the Phillies battle to maintain their National League East lead to tune in to the radio love he receives, but he feels it in other ways — including from "Thome's Homies" in the left-field upper deck, a self-described fan club that frequently appears at home games. Thome's mere emergence from the dugout can bring cheers even on the worst of nights.
"I love it. I really love it," said Thome, 33, who signed with Philadelphia last season after 10 years with Cleveland. "The excitement and the expectations here, I really love it. It's special to play here every night. I get a kick out of it."
MVP numbers piling up
Although he finished far behind Pujols in fan voting for the NL squad, Thome earned his first All-Star selection since 1999 because of a power display that's hard to ignore. He eclipsed Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt's club record with 15 homers in June, tying Cy Williams' franchise mark from 1923, and had an .816 slugging mark for the month.
The Phillies' move from cavernous Veterans Stadium to cozy Citizens Bank Park has also keyed a more than 30-point spike from Thome's .266 average last year. His .299 average entering Monday was just 15 points off his career-best set nine years ago, although he's actually batting better on the road (.316 to .280 at home). He's on pace for about 58 homers — six above his career best two years ago.
"I'd say the ball carries a little better here, both ways," said Thome, who has 15 homers at home. "It's the type of ballpark that you don't want to get wrapped up into hitting home runs; you can just hit."
Thome looks the part of a power hitter at 6-4, 244, with biceps better suited for football than baseball. He hit his 400th career homer three weeks ago.
His 74 homers over the past two seasons, entering Monday, lead all major leaguers, and were seven better than Barry Bonds and eight more than Alex Rodriguez. His 126 homers over the past three years are three more than A-Rod and 13 more than Bonds, who obviously is pitched to less often.
Thome has put up the numbers despite breaking the middle finger on his right hand in spring training but only missing eight regular-season games, including five in May with a sprained right index finger.
Although his body doesn't show it, he admits he likes a good meal more than weightlifting. "Nobody has ever said anything to me about steroids, and if they did, I'd probably laugh. I eat steak and eggs, and I don't lift. My wife's a good cook."
Thome chalks up his homer production to knowing NL pitching better and being more patient at the plate. With half a season left he's about a third of the way toward last year's NL-leading 182 strikeouts.
Thome can be choosy with so much protection around him. Shortstop Jimmy Rollins (.280 entering Monday) has been solid leading off for Marlon Byrd, who's correcting his swing in the minors with hitting instructor Charlie Manuel, Thome's former Cleveland manager.
Second baseman Placido Polanco (.264 entering Monday) is a steady No. 2, and Bobby Abreu's .300 consistency batting third is a good setup for cleanup man Thome. Despite a recent slump Pat Burrell was still hitting .279 with 14 homers and 58 RBI, and David Bell (.277) is coming on.
"He's putting up MVP-type numbers, and I guess if I had the choice (as to) whether he starts in the All-Star game or wins the MVP award, I'd choose the MVP," said Phillies vice president and general manager Ed Wade. "At the same time if I had to choose between winning the MVP and carrying the (World Series) trophy down Broad Street, I'd lean towards carrying the trophy down Broad Street."
Can he take them all the way?
Philadelphia's heartbreaking sports history has kept Phillies fans from thinking that far ahead. But they have envisioned a playoff team since Thome's bat lifted the Phillies from a disappointing April into a daily battle with the defending world champion Florida Marlins, who beat them out for the 2003 NL wild-card berth.
In Thome they finally have a player they believe can affect a game much like McNabb, Iverson and Roenick. Fans also can relate to Thome through his regular-guy diet, baggy uniform with pant legs rolled high and working man's approach to the game. Not to mention that he likes the fans as much as they like him.
"He's a worker," said former Phillies slugger Greg "The Bull" Luzinski, who runs Bull's BBQ in Ashburn Alley beyond the outfield. "He's one of the modern-day pros who connects with the people. He loves to hunt. You see him out and about. He's just an everyday guy." "
Still, icon status is not granted easily here. Schmidt, a rookie manager with the Phillies' Florida State League affiliate, hit 509 homers and was one of the best third basemen in an 18-year career, but he was booed regularly.
McNabb and Roenick are still trying to lead talent-laden teams into the championship round, and Iverson must prove he can make nice with his coach and teammates. Because these three work hard, they've earned the benefit of the doubt until the next setback.
Thome will likely have to finish his career here to reach that level, but he has shown enough so far that fans have created a place in their hearts. And closet space for his jersey.
"People are fired up about Thome," said Richard Sperry, 30, of Haverford, Pa., a Phillies fan since he was 5. "If they stay in the pennant race and make the playoffs, I think you'll really see him take off as a superstar. I think he arrived too late in his career to be considered one of the all-time great Phillies — unless, of course, they win the World Series."

The Best Books about Drawing and Sketching
Find out which are the best books about drawing and sketching
Do you want to learn how to draw? Want to find out which are the best books about drawing and sketching?
This is a big site designed to help those who want to
- DEVELOP YOUR DRAWING SKILLS and learn about drawing at an advanced level
- LEARN ABOUT THE MASTERS OF DRAWING through the ages
Scroll down to find links to MORE BOOKS ABOUT DRAWING than you ever knew existed!
[Due to a recent change in hosting, this site is currently being reconstructed. It will still contain links to a huge number of books - but some of these will be on linked websites.]
These are the BEST BOOKS about:
- specific drawing techniques and materials
- sketching and using a sketchbook or visual journal
- how to draw specific subjects (eg drawing people, flowers, animals)
- creativity and creative drawing
I'm an artist and writer who is absolutely passionate about drawing and sketching and I write about both.
- Making A Mark, my art blog is currently ranked as the #3 art blog in the UK and in the top 20 in the world.
- My Travels with a Sketchbook blog has also featured in and been recommended by The Times newspaper in London
- My new book about drawing and sketching has been published in the USA, UK and Asia in January 2015.
The Big Drawing Book Review - to support The Big Draw in the UK
This site was started as a place to highlight all the best books about drawing and sketching. I'd developed THE BIG DRAWING BOOK REVIEW on my blog Making A Mark and needed a place to keep all the reviews by artists and their recommendations about what were the best drawing books. I now post book reviews to Making A Mark reviews......
I started reviewing books about drawing in support of the Big Draw month in the UK which is co-ordinated by the Drawing Campaign. The "Rating books for the Big Drawing Book Review" Appendix at the end of this website explains the system we used for differentiating between books (5 pencils is excellent!). Book reviews were posted on my blog and the blogs of those people participating in the review.
I then set this site up to make sure I captured and made accessible all those recommendations - so they were available to all and not buried on our respective blogs! I collated all the links to the reviews of books about drawing or sketching by people participating in the project on their and my blogs done as part of the original exercise book. (Unfortunately, this site has since moved hosts and the constraints of this site mean that I can no longer list links to all the reviews on this site. I'm making plans to remedy this.)
Since the project, I've continued to develop the recommendations about good books about drawing and sketching - based on the recommendations of others and my own reviews. Where there are no specific recommendations you can be sure I crawled all over Amazon working out which were the books which were getting the top ratings.
Over time I've developed the structure of the site so that I group "like" books together. For example, there's a section for beginners - but there's also a section for those seeking more advanced instruction on how to develop their drawing skills
I'm always very happy to hear your suggestions - just a recommendation as a comment.
I'd also like to thank all those have left really great feedback about this site since I started it. You are right - there is no other like it!
Books about Drawing
Creating a structure for this site has not been easy. Books about drawing tend to come in a long list without any rhyme or reason.
In broad terms books about drawing and sketching are:
- aimed at different skills levels - from people who have no knowledge or skills to improvers and those who need or want to to develop advanced skills
- typically divide between instruction and art history
- instruction books vary in their approach - I find that typically the books which standout and get remembered - and bought again and again - are those that don't repeat the same structure as all the others. It wasn't until I was commissioned to write a book about drawing and sketching and had to produce a flatplan that I realised how many books follow a conventional format. For example - why does the chapter on media need to come at the beginning rather than the end?
- Step by step instruction is very popular but is it effective? Why write about it in a book when it's so much easier these days to view a step by step demonstration via video, DVD or internet television?
- Instruction about 'how to draw' specific subject matter is popular - however such books should be examined to make sure they don't repeat information which can be found in more generic books on how to draw and allocate most of the pages to actual practical instruction with respect to the specific subject matter.
- Art History books tend to focus on specific artists. Overviews of specific periods in the history of drawing are available but are not common. A lot of books are produced as catalogues for an exhibition devoted to drama
Learn How to Draw
Below you can find the Best Art Books for:
1) beginners wanting to learn how to draw
2) those wanting to know more about specific drawing media and drawing techniques
If you want to know more about to draw specific subject matter see the topics listed in the "How to Draw...." section (eg people, perspective etc)
Drawing is absolutely no different from anything else in life.
1. There is no "get rich quick" solution
2. You get out what you put in.— Katherine Tyrrell
"How to Draw" Books for Beginners
Which are the Best Books about Drawing for those wanting to learn how to draw?
If you want to learn how to draw and can't get to a class, the very best thing you can do is buy a book which has proved to be invaluable in teaching me and thousands of other people how to draw.
However do bear in mind that learning how to draw is essentially about practice, practice, practice! There is no way you can become good at drawing overnight - however these books can get you going in the right direction and you can make progress quickly if you try the exercises they recommend.
THE TWO BEST DRAWING BOOKS FOR BEGINNERS - by a very long way - are listed below. These are Keys to Drawing and The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Neither book is new and both books have stood the test of time - and gained very many fans as a result.
I highly RECOMMEND both books - as do very many people who have learned how to draw from studying these books and attempting the very practical and useful exercises they contain.
- see my book review of "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain"
- see my book review of Keys to Drawing
Try either but I really do recommend buying both if you can afford both as they take a different approach and complement each other.

Keys to Drawing - by Bert Dodson
Forget the original publication date - none of these exercises will ever date!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - I've been strongly recommending this book to people wanting to learn to draw - or to improve their drawing - for years.
- Rated an average of 4.7 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com (160 customer reviews)
- Rated an average 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon.co.uk (22 customer reviews)
- "Keys to Drawing" occupied the #1 spot for books about drawing on Amazon for a very long time - and the last time was in September 2011
Now also available on Kindle
Bert Dodson's method of "teaching anyone who can hold a pencil" how to draw has been extremely successful over many years. It is now one of the most popular, best-selling art books in history!
"This is a book that I can pick up and reread and dip into over and over again and never ever get bored."
It's one of the best 'how to' books on drawing that I've ever read and I can highly recommend it to all of you who are:
- interested in the art of drawing,
- wanting to develop your own skill in self-evaluation and/or
- wanting to develop your own individual style of drawing.
HIS system for developing drawing skills involves 55 "keys" to drawing. The book comprises exercises which help you to work through what the key is about and why it is effective. In doing so, the reader develops their observational skills and learns how to control mark-making and pattern-making and to draw in a way which creates the illusion of light, depth, and texture

Which drawing book for beginners do you like the best?
Bert's my main man - Keys to Drawing is the best book
Bert's my main man - Keys to Drawing is the best book
Why choose between the two? I know that's not answering the question, but both books are outstanding as you can see from the reviews. You can get them 2nd hand at very reasonable prices. I've drawn since a very early age, but received the first addition of "Right Side" as a gift when I was in my 20s and really enjoyed the mental exercises she poses to her students. For fun, I even took a local class based on the book years ago. I'm also a big fan of "Keys to Drawing". If you are only getting one, I like the basic exercises in "Drawing with the Right side of your brain." But its never a bad thing to have a couple of terrific books on your bookshelf if you get them.
I hope that these might work. Apparently I have good skill. But need better practice.i. also am asking whether or. Not you know of cheap ones. In. Australia
great book. Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain is my choice.
I enjoyed this book and used it quite a bit when I first started drawing...will have to check out the other one. Great resource lens.
Keys to Drawing, I think I would like to choose this one.
Betty's book is best - I like using the right side of my brain!
Thanks! I'll definitely have to look for some of these books!
I think I'd start with Betty and build my confidence then move on to Bert!
I'm left-sided so Betty's book worked best for me.
Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain is my choice.

Everyday Matters - by Danny Gregory
RECOMMENDED: Amazon REVIEWS: 4.8 out of 5 stars (88 customer reviews)
One of the best ways of starting to draw is to practice. One of the best ways of doing this is just to make a point of drawing something every day.
That's what Danny Gregory did - and this book is the result.
I started drawing about eight years ago and it changed my life. It led me to travel, to meet people, to get books published, but most of all it transformed the way I see the world around me and how I experience every day.
"Two years before I started drawing, my wife was run over by a subway train. Sounds really terrible, I know. But, well, this book is about how art and New York City saved my life."
This unique book chronicles his discovery of drawing, his wife's rehabilitation, his son's infancy and the life of the city he loves.
Not everybody will get on with the fact that all the text is handwritten ie it's a facsimile of his journal.

Once you're no longer a drawing "newbie" you'll find you will find you develop a huge appetite for wanting to learn more about different drawing media and more about specific techniques associated with the different media.

The Drawing Book: Materials and Techniques for Today's Artist - by Richard McDaniel
Rated 4.4 out of 5 stars based on 5 customer ratings + 1 review
RECOMMENDED with caveats.
It's very difficult to know how to rate this book. On the one hand, it's absolutely the best book I know for looking at drawing materials. Its descriptions and images used to make me salivate and want to try new drawing media and supports. On the other hand, the hardback edition has not been updated or revised for the changes which will have taken place since 1995 when it was first published.

Amazon UK reviews: 5.0 out of 5 stars (4 customer reviews)
This is a definite "5 pencils" for anybody who loves or is seriously interested in learning more about pen and ink work and is a "4 pencils" for anybody else.
In my opinion, this is not a book for beginners or for those starting out. Rather it will be enjoyed by those who are already have skills in drawing who want to advance and develop and/or those who are seriously interested in drawing in pen and ink.

Drawing Realistic Textures in Pencil - by J. D. Hillberry
RECOMMENDED with caveats.
Amazon reviews: 4.5 out of 5 stars (based on 127 customer reviews)
Amazon reviews UK 4.6 out of 5 stars (10 customer reviews)
The book is excellent at precisely what it sets out to do - drawing realistic textures in pencil.
For those who enjoy and/or want to achieve this sort of rendering of surfaces and textures then this book provides a lot of helpful information and support which is clearly set out and explained.
However it is not a 'learn how to draw' book as such. For those who want to learn how to draw at either a basic or advanced level there are other more helpful books which provide a more rounded perspective on drawing - and its scope and practice. I'd award it a 4 pencils rating in relation to its coverage of rendering texture only.

Experimental Drawing - by Robert Kaupelis
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED This book is very definitely worth a five pencils rating - based on my original 1992 copy
Amazon reviews: 4.8 out of 5 stars based on 12 customer reviews
In my review of Experimental Drawing I said
"Experimental Drawing" has the feel of being both a distillation of much learning and experimentation on the part of Kaupelis and his students and a labour of love.
This is the 30th anniversary edition. Books which stick around for this long with consistent sales do so because they're very good and get recommended very often by word of mouth
On re-reading it, I've decided that it needs to take up residence on my bedside table so I can revisit it more often. I'm planning to use this book more in future to try and find ways of teasing out the ways of drawing and images which are in my head but haven't yet appeared on paper to my satisfaction.
I'd personally try and get hold of a second hand copy of the original publication if you can

The Drawing Book - by Sarah Simblet
This is a UK book which is not so well known in the USA but it is
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me. This is one of my favourite drawing books. That's because I find it stimulating to just look through it as the images are superb.
UK: Rated an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars (9 customer reviews of which 7 were 5*)
If you feel you are most comfortable with traditional rendering/realism then this is probably not the book for you. However it emphatically earns in my view a five pencil rating for those keen to develop their drawing skills beyond technically correct rendering and/or are interested in drawing in art history and/or those who just want to develop their drawing generally. This book is a 'must buy' - I guarantee you will be blown away by it.

Kimon Nicolaides (1891-1938) taught at the New York's Art Students' League for 15 years where he developed a system for teaching people how to draw - which is shared in this book. The book comprises the 64 exercises he taught over the course of the year. Note that it's VERY DEMANDING in terms of the time required to complete the exercises. The basic assumption is it takes 3 hours per day for a year.

The Visual Language of Drawing: Lessons on the Art of Seeing
I've waited a very long time to get hold of a book - by James Lancel McElhinney and the Instructors of the Arts Students League of New York
This book is based on the tuition available at the prestigious Arts Student League of New York founded by and for artists in 1875. For over 130 years, people have been able to sign up to do classes at the League if they want practical training in making art. The League has also had many famous tutors and students.
Amazon reviews: 4.8 out of 5 stars (6 customer reviews)
What this book does is bring together different perspectives on the practice of drawing, how it can be taught and how students can be enabled to see. The premise of the book is that great art teachers never draw on just one source for their teaching - instead they reference many different influences. People who teach art will find it very helpful to their practice.
This book aims to demystify the process of learning to draw. It proposes that drawing is a language, that drawing is for everybody, that there is no single way of drawing and that people who teach drawing can provide the essential grammar of all visual thinking.
The book comprises three sections devoted to:
- an introductory essay which sets out how drawing has been appreciated, practiced and taught in the past
- interviews with 15 former and current instructors at the Arts Students' League focusing on their personal insights about drawing and how they approached the teaching of drawing. These chapters highlight various alternative approaches to drawing.
- Drawing Concepts and Plans - an illustrated outline of how to teach drawing to students - highlighting essential concepts, lesson plans and exercises, terminology, materials and techniques
- This is not a "how to" book in the conventional 'step by step" sense. It's more of a "how to teach" or "how to learn" book
- This is a book for people who enjoy reading as well as looking at images of different approaches to drawing. There's a LOT of text - the core of the book comprises interviews with different tutors.

The Art of Responsive Drawing (6th edition) - by Nathan Goldstein
This book has been recommended and used by art schools in the USA for decades.
Recommended by Charley Parker (Lines and Colors)
Rated as 3.7 out of 5 stars (16 customer reviews) - note that the overall average is distorted by people buying a book they did not understand and not understanding how to provide feedback on a 3rd party selling on Amazon. Those who do "get it' rate it highly
This is NOT a "How to draw" book.
This is NOT a book for beginners.
It's the sort of book you need to read alongside a more practical exercise oriented book.
One reviewer commented " this is not a "how-to-draw" book in the "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" category, but more of a guide to connoisseurship and the philosophy of drawing."

Learn How to Draw like the Masters
Classical drawing - learn from the Masters
Those who become very good at drawing people tend at some point to study how Past Masters drew people.
Looking at how they made marks, represented people and developed their own unique and individual styles of drawing can be hugely influential in the development of good practices and your own competence in and style of drawing.
Do NOT be put off by these books. They are NOT too advanced even for beginners.
You don't have to be able to draw like the masters to begin to understand and appreciate the complexities involved in drawing people.
Students who study these books soon begin to understand that drawing figures is not something which can be boiled down to six simple tricks - no matter how many authors or so-called teachers would like to persuade us this is the case. These books are also extremely helpful for those wanting to start a life class because they give you ideas for how you can draw people and how to overcome some of the challenges of drawing people. Treat them as a reference source from which to gain inspiration and you will never ever be disappointed.
Many people buy them just to look at them to start with. I still look at my copies all the time - and never ever tire at looking at excellent figure drawings.
ROBERT BEVERLY HALE was the Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a world-renowned teacher at New York Student's Art League for 40 years, and Adjunct Professor of Drawing and Lecturer on Anatomy at Columbia University.

Learn How to Draw like the Masters - Classical drawing - learn from the Masters
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - This book is old and invaluable - in other words it's a CLASSIC.
Amazon reviews: 4.7 out of 5 stars (60 customer reviews)
It contains the most amazing collection of drawings and provides excellent points for how to draw like the masters. It's been described as "the ultimate manual of drawing" and is based on the lessons taught by the late great Robert Beverly Hale at New York City's Art Student League.
In 1989, Watson Guptill published the 45th anniversary edition and the pointers it provides do not date - nor do the drawings by the masters which are included in this volume.
In the book Hales analyses over 100 drawings by the old masters - Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Rodin, Goya, Rembrandt et al - and identifies how they dealt with the perennial challenges for artists trying to recreate the illusion of a 3D form in space on a 2D medium. The level of analysis is not commonly found in other books about drawing

Drawing Ideas of the Masters: Improve Your Drawings by Studying the Masters - by Frederick Malins
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: I bought a second hand copy of this book having seen a copy owned by one of my tutors. This is one of the BEST books on drawing I've ever bought. It offers you probably the best value you'll ever get for the price paid for a second hand copy
It's not going to get a high rating on Amazon because very few people know it even exists. Plus it's out of print and you cannot buy it new (I had to buy a used copy to get mine).
However this is one of those books which provides refreshment and stimulation in equal part if you ever get jaded or stuck with your own drawing.
The book has six sections covering Portraits, Figure, Figure Composition, Landscape and the Built Environment.
This is a compendium of drawings by Past Masters. The aim is to provide an insight into drawing as practised in the past and it compares and contrasts the techniques of different artists. Includes 140 drawings in a variety of media - pencil, pen and ink, charcoal and watercolour.
If you like to keep a sketchbook or a visual journal, then these art books can provide you with ideas about how to do this!

This is the first book by Urban Sketchers. The Art of Urban Sketching topped the Best Seller Lists for Drawing Books BEFORE it was published on 1 February 2012.
- It then sold out immediately and went straight to reprint which also sold out.
- It's now on its third print since publication.
- It's proved to be so popular that its sales and ranking are only limited by how fast this book can be printed!
The last time I saw anything like this was when James Gurney's Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter was published at the end of 2010 - and it then topped the charts for the whole of 2011 and still remains a firm favourite.
The Art of Urban Sketching: Drawing On Location Around The World by By Gabi Campanario and Urban Sketchers (www.urbansketchers.org) was the Best New Art Book in the first half of 2012.

Even while out of stock it was maintaining a top ten position in Amazon categories for painting, drawing and other media

The Art of Perspective
Perspective drawing is one of those skills which seems to generate a complete mental block for a number of people. Often because it can come across as being a tad too technical and/or something only "proper artists" can do.
However it's not that difficult to learn some of the basic principles and it's well worth the effort in terms of its impact on all your drawings (and paintings) of the real world.
Below you can find the best book about perspective from the perspective of coverage and ratings - it's also a best seller!
RECOMMENDED: Rated an average of 4.6 out of 5 stars by 63 customer reviews
This is a very popular book which deals with perspective from an artist's 'natural' viewpoint as well as from a technical drawing perspective.
It provides a wide range of techniques and tips about how to portray spatial relationships and depth
* how to create perspective on a flat surface using a variety of mediums.
* covers the theory behind perspective
* introduces appropriate approaches to challenging subjects.

- Amazon reviews (USA): Rated 4.9 out of 5 stars by 105 customer reviews
- Amazon reviews (UK): 4.0 out of 5 stars by 4 customer reviews
This is a very highly rated book about drawing birds in the USA - the artist and naturalist John Muir Laws has been called a "modern Audubon" by the Washington Post. The recent publication has generated a lot of very positive reviews. It focuses on habit, behaviour and postures as well as on 'how to draw feathers'.
One of the reasons for the low rank by UK readers is the birds are biased towards those found in the USA

Appendix: Rating books for the Big Drawing Book Review
This is how The Big Drawing Book Review rated books about drawing or sketching.
5 pencils - go out and buy this book right now if you have the money. In your opinion, an essential book for anybody seriously interested in drawing and/or learning more about drawing.
4 pencils - a seriously good book about drawing; definitely one you want to own at some point - maybe one for the Christmas present list if you're broke
3 pencils - good effort but nothing which really distinguishes it from other books. It's just this author's take on the basics. The sort of book which is good while you are reading it but doesn't stick in your memory.
2 pencils - undistinguished in your view. For example: content may be a rerun of previously published books and/or remixed with a new front cover; presentation may not be particularly noteworthy.
1 pencil - buying this book would damage your wallet but is unlikely to enhance either your knowledge, skills or enjoyment. It may also hurt your eyes! (Unfortunately there are a few of these out there - although I'm assuming we've probably weeded through a few of these without buying!)
Comments - Let me know what you think - but please do not spam!
Got great ideas from your list. I was hoping to see a book recommendation on dogs and cats and perhaps a good book on shading tips and tools. Thanks for the list
This is cool!
I can't draw a crooked line, but the books you list here are inspiring.
Great selection!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing all the awesome resources. SUPER basic... but I loved Ed Emberly drawing books as a kid. So fun and easy to follow! :)
Like it! I've always been awful at drawing so this is a very welcome lens for me!
This is extensive, but still it comes back to Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. I gotta get that book!
very informative!
very informative!
@makingamark: Yes, I read it but I thought I could use your suggestion as a kind of acid test to discover if there was any hope for a guy like me to sketch anything. The result was NO!!!
Well, I read your lens, became interested and followed the link to the article HOW TO SKETCH A CAT IN 30 SECONDS. I confess I don't have a cat and had to use my imagination but I tried . . . and ended up with a sketch that looks like a hybrid of a bathyscaphe and an iguana. Thanks for giving me hope for some minutes. Great lens!
This is very good.. I always want to learn how to draw or sketch, this lens is very informative
If anyone is interested in sketching or drawing, this lens is a "must visit" before you start buying books. Well done, detailed, and comments by the writer as to why he recommends the books he recommends. I recommend it highly.
