This is a wonderful book and one all aspiring artists should start with in my opinion. It takes a logical approach to learning how to draw and explains the theory behind it. The philosophy behind the book, that absolutely anyone can learn to draw, is pretty central and very encouraging for people who think they cannot draw or think they have no "talent" for it. And if you already can draw, or have difficulty with drawing certain things, the excercises in the book will help you brush up on your skills. I highly recommend this book and the best thing I can say about it is that it got me back into art again after a number of years, drawing things I never thought I'd ever be able to. This is a great book. It really takes the mystery out of drawing. It teaches you to takes the logical left-brain out of the picture (no pun intended). You learn to "unthink" like an artist. I was fortunate to be able to use this as a textbook for a drawing course at Evening at Emory. The teacher took us systematically through the book as we completed virtually every exercise. I particularly liked the technique for drawing portraits. It really did lead to looking at the world in a different way. no reviews | add a review

It is clear and easy to read... it will take you step by step through the process of learning how to see and force your logical brain to let go so you can draw the forms as they really are
