Summary: 5 Stars
I am a high school art teacher and this is a wonderful book for everyone who wants to improve their drawing skills. My students love the examples and instructions. The nice one page directions are great for the classroom. My students have seen improvement in their work. It is worth the money and I know my students as well as myself will get many years of use from it. I highly reccommend you add this to your library.
Summary of Drawing from Observation: An Introduction to Perceptual Drawing
Perceptual drawing, in which one renders the physical world as it appears to an observer, is the focus of this new text for the introductory drawing course. With an emphasis on progressive skill development, Drawing from Observation offers a balanced mix of hands-on technique and perceptual theory while making a compelling argument for the long-term value of studying perception-based drawing.Drawing Books
