Colored Pencil Portraits step by step by Ann Kullberg. Published 1999 by North Lights Books ISBNo-89134-844-1

This an excellent book for someone wanting to learn portrait drawing. Some of the work is quite advanced, but the book is a great reference for use with other subjects as well. It has good information on working from photographs.
