★★★★★

I've been thinking about trying sketching for years but always backed out because I didn't know what to buy or if I'd even like it. This guide answered everything—the starter kit section saved me from buying a bunch of junk, and the chapter about what a real session actually feels like made me realize it doesn't need to be perfect to be fun. I bought a cheap sketchbook and two pencils last week and have already drawn ten times. Honestly, best money I've spent on a hobby decision.
