If you are spending 2 hours to make the perfect PowerPoint, this book gives you the confidence to make your own drawings, pictorals, and basic diagrams on any whiteboard or paper easel. I was a statitican (so you know I can't draw) but often needed to work out ideas of my own and in groups. The simple pictures learned in this book helps everyone understand the discussion that's going on. Connect words, ideas, and your audience with esy to draw colorful pictograms of your ideas.

Not sure if you can draw, the publishers sample made me get the book.

All these reviewers are right. I opened the book and within 30 seconds i drew the first picture which looked EXACTLY like the one in the book. I have spent hundreds of dollars on books on drawing - all wasted. The beauty of this book is that every concept is applied instantly and transferred to your brain subliminally.

Excellent guide for communicating concepts, ideas, etc.

I absolutely love this book!! I couldn't even draw good stick people. Now, watch out!!! I am going to add drawings to my currently "boring corporate" driven lessons and make them colorful and fun!!!

Milly has been able to show in concise, clear terms and through visual example, how easy it is to draw basic images for illustrating anything. An excellent resource for trainers, presenters and anyone designing flip charts or other graphic materials to aid in communicating a message.An excellent tie-in to the workshops that she conducts around the country.
