Synopsis

You would not like this book if you are looking for instructions on how to draw step-by-step the doodles and confuse NeoPopRealism with doodling. It is not a graftsmen book for sure, it is the Artists book. And it is even not for every artist, only for those who love to improvise. The NeoPopRealist art learning process just like any other learning process can be frustrating for some, but you would be upset not because a book is bad or it teaches nothing, but because it is not what you want and how you want it. The focus-pocus of this book is that it shows step-by-step how Nadia RUSS creates her artwork (that is not a bad thing!). It also suggests you TO NEVER COPY and TO BE UNIQUE, and analyze what you see in the book before you start drawing on your own (it is a great thing!). If you do not like to learn drawing from a genius and the style creator, get another, book, written by an average doodler. If it would make you feel better about self and if you are looking for equality with a prospective "teacher". NeoPopRealism is a unique style of visual arts that require an ability to improvise with your pen (like in Jazz). If you do not have this ability naturally, you need work hard to learn how to do it. But how often the even good professional musicians could learn to play jazz? Not often, or they learned to play badly. Same in the visual arts improvisation, there is no guarantee that you would be able to improvise with pen even close to Nadia Russ after reading this book or even practicing for a while. Not everyone can crack the NeoPopRealist code, so do not blame the book:) and do not blame capitalism and free speech too:).
