The Critique Handbook: The Art Student’s Sourcebook and Survival Guide<\/h3>\n

My wife had expressed an interest in critique and how to critique her own work. I’m not sure if this is what she was looking for, but it was the closest I could find.

This one is recommended all over the internet, so I thought I’d order it and give it a read.<\/p>\n

If anyone has any other recommended books please feel free to comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
