I’ve been saying that I want to learn to draw for a long long while and I finally took that first step with this book. It is great for beginners AND those with experience. You can tell that the author wants you to learn to draw and see things differently as you learn to draw. The book has detailed steps that help guide you. I really enjoy that you are expected to write notes and complete activities in the book. It arrived wrapped in plastic with no blemishes. I’ve only had the book a week and I already feel more confident in my drawings. Now I have to stay disciplined and practice. With the help of this book AND lots of discipline/practice, I’ll be the artist I’ve always wanted to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous for all ages!

I discovered this book when subbing for a middle school art teacher. Holmes wrote it specifically for teachers and students, but is easily used in a non-school environment. At that time, I was personally exploring drawing for relaxation at home. I paged through the book and saw that it would work well for me at home. And it sure did! My drawing skills improved incredibly! It helped me as a teacher too because I used the lessons when I had to teach every subject to my 6th graders, including art! I went on to buy a few more books in this series. I'm retired now, but I use them with my grandchildren.

Muchos ejercicios variados, bueno para empezar desde cero.

A.A. · July 25, 2024

Estaba buscando un libro para aprender a dibujar desde cero. Elegí éste porque está hecho por una profesora de dibujo; leí la introducción y la autora me cayó bien, como que conoce a la perfección su trabajo y tiene interés en que los alumnos progresen. Lo he recibido esta mañana y me he puesto enseguida a hacer los ejercicios. Decir que el libro es una pasada. Es bastante grueso, tiene mucho material. Cada capítulo tiene una pequeña introducción teórica y luego viene un ejercicio para poder practicar esa teoría en particular. Los dibujos de los ejercicios son bonitos y variados; producen sensación de logro desde el principio. Vamos, que estoy muy contenta. Seguiré el consejo de la autora de hacer cada uno de los ejercicios sin saltar ningún paso. El libro que yo he comprado está escrito en inglés; con un nivel medio se puede seguir perfectamente, pero para quien lo prefiera, también está editado en español.

complicated forms made technically easy
