My after reading review (December 29, 2019):-  When I was a kid I used to do good drawing. I never learned drawing to any teacher or went to any art school. But I was good in drawing. I just drew in my leisure time just for fun. It's been years since I haven't drawn a single piece of picture. I almost forgot how to draw. Once again I need to learn drawing. As an entrepreneur for my new digital production business  I need to be a digital artist. And I have to master digital painting. 


Though this book is not about digital drawing. It's a book about traditional paper and pencil drawing. but I believe if one can draw on paper then he/she can also draw on computer digitally. To become a pro digital artist one must learn traditional drawing first. 


That is why I pick up this beginners level book and read it all through. This is a nice book for beginners like me. It helps me to understand the theory of drawing. Though this book didn't cover topics in depth. But it is nice and easy to understand basics and to start with. The book covers essential topics of drawing. Such as picking drawing tools and proper place. worming up technique before drawing, basic lines, tone, understanding forms, light and shadows, proportion and scale, perspective, texture and surface, composition, drawing figures, caricature. materials and grades and some extra drawing techniques. I have learned so much stuffs I didn't know before. Those knowledge will definitely help me to learn drawing properly.

 
Thanks for reading.

It hit the market and soon became the most popular one among the other similar games. Right now everyone is talking about PUBG. Everyone is playing PUBG. So as a game lover person how can I be not to play the game. 

I am also enjoying PUBG in my spare time. But it seems difficult to me to win the game. To increase my gaming skills and to play like a pro gamer I grab the PUBG strategy book. The book is full of beginners, intermediate and advanced level strategy to win and to stay alive longer in the gameplay. 

Most of the strategies in this book are known to me. Even everyone can learn those strategies by playing the game few times. To learn those strategies one does not need to read any book.

I am reading this type of basic books, because I am new learner to this machine learning field.

Although, I have to read more advanced and in-depth books for farther understanding.

My after reading review (February 25, 2019):- For a while I have decided to trade and invest in financial market. But to become a trader one need to be master on financial market. I need to study on financial market, market research and of course market analysis. There are two kinds of market analysis any traders or investors should master. One is fundamental analysis which is based on economics and another one is technical analysis which is based on mathematics. This book is all about technical analysis.

I wouldn’t say that this book is the ultimate book on technical analysis, and you don’t need to read any other book after reading this one and you would be able to start trading immediately after finishing this book. Rather this book is a nice one for any beginners like me. This is a basic level book so any reader can get a basic overview about technical analysis. And also it’s an easy to understand book, written in very easy language. Good book to start with.

I have read this book to get an introductory idea on what technical analysis actually is. This kind of basic knowledge will help me in future for farther reading. When I will read more advanced reference book on this topic, this knowledge will help me to understand everything better.
