It is NOT a how to draw book. It has no advice about pencils or shading. It is all about your frame of mind as a creative person, clearing out all the reasons and excuses that hinder the simple act of picking up a pencil and making a mark on a piece of paper.

I like to think of this book as a comfort blanket for creative people who need a little boost to their confidence. It also has a nice, soft feel to the cover.
