Description
Praise for The Addictive Sketcher:
"It's impossible not to be carried along by his enthusiasm and the sheer dynamism of his work. Although this is carried out for the most part in the field, it's remarkably polished and a lot more than just quick notes. There's an element of improvisation – a jazz-like tone – and Adebanji certainly has a natural ability. If you share his love of drawing, this is a book to embrace as well as learn from."
– The Artist magazine
