This is a great book and very easy to follow. I couldn't draw a box or a ball before reading this book and now I can't stop sketching.

I'm an engineer in my late 30s who wants to learn drawing. I enjoy reading the book very much. The book is easy to follow and understand. The writing style is succinct. The presentation flow is coherent. The contents comprise Part One: Fundamentals of Drawing (19 chapters) and Part Two: Drawing in Various Media (11 chapters). I've almost finished reading Part I, and I've finished the exercises in first 9 chapters. Each chapter introduces one concept that is reinforced with the author's many excellent drawing examples. Each chapter is delightfully short - I read one chapter at night before I sleep. I also enjoy doing the exercises! I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn drawing.

Bought this for a friend and he says that it helped him a lot in getting started drawling again after many years. Starts for the basics and takes you on from there.
Great Drawing Help! May 28, 2009
Debra J. Mitchel (Terre Haute, IN)
I used this book while attending the Art Institute. I purchased it once again when I was having problems in my drawing class later on. It does help improve your drawing skills.
Better yet, it encouraged me that I could draw. At least it encouraged me long enough to make it through my last drawing class. The drawing class that I took two semesters ago, right before I changed majors! The encouragement alone made the purchase worth it.
