So put down that remote and pick up this book (and a pencil, while you're at it) you'll find a slew of quick exercises (50, to be exact) that will get your artistic juices flowing.

So stop hiding behind those lame excuses and get your drawing skills into shape now!-This small, fun, accessible book of drawing projects targets beginners or intermediate artists who need a simple review. The "artistic fitness" referred to in the title is a bit misleading, but it needn't detract from the book's value as an inexpensive, spiral-bound volume from which anyone interested in art can benefit. The 50 short exercises, two or four pages long, cover animals and people, fantasy creatures, food and drink, and still life; there is plenty to dip into for quick moments of drawing practice."- Library Journal
