    From the editor Review by Mona Michael, managing editor IMPACT Books

    I can tell you that this is the ONLY book on creating sketch cards out there, and Randy Martinez is the best! There are sample cards and blank cards in the back also, so you can get going right away. Seriously, if you've got a young artist in your life or if you're just interested in trying something new and fun, pick up this one!
